Abstract
Copper-catalyzed alkylation and arylation of chiral propargylic phosphates using alkyl boranes and arylboronic esters as organoboron nucleophiles enables the asymmetric synthesis of trisubstituted allenes with excellent chirality transfer and regioselectivity, together with good functional group compatibility.
