Abstract
Silyloxyallenes serve as highly useful α-acylvinyl anion equivalents, that undergo conjugate additions to alkylidene malonates in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 as catalyst. The reaction delivers intermolecular Rauhut-Currier products in excellent yields and regioselectivities for a wide scope of substrates.
