Abstract
Vinylaluminum reagents prepared from the reaction of commercially available DIBAL-H and a terminal alkyne can be used directly without purification in catalytic asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions with allylic phosphates in the presence of a readily available chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex and a commercially available and air stable Cu salt.
