Abstract
In the TMSOTf-mediated catalytic carbocupration of ynoates, catalyst loadings as low as 5 mol % readily allow for high yields and diastereoselectivities for a series of aromatic Grignard reagents. A vicinally functionalization is possible via initial TMSOTf-mediated catalytic carbocupration followed by a secondary electrophilic capture of the TMS allenoate intermediate.
