Abstract Click reactions that form functional linkages are rare. Among the few catalytic options, none directly delivers a cleavable connector. Here we introduce copper(I)-catalysed allene–ketone addition (CuAKA), an operationally simple reaction that is mutually orthogonal to CuAAC (copper(I)-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition) and CuPDF (copper(I)-catalysed phenoxydiazaborinine formation). These three catalytic click strategies can be merged for efficient assembly of multifunctional entities.
