Abstract
An asymmetric 1,3-rearrangement of an alkynyl group of alkynyl alkenyl carbinols took place in the presence of a hydroxyrhodium/(R)-binap catalyst to yield β-alkynylketones in high yields with high enantioselectivity. The present method includes a key β-alkynyl elimination step in the catalytic cycle.
