Abstract
A Rh(I)/DPPF system enables a chemo- and regioselective intermolecular decarboxylative addition of β-ketoacids to terminal allenes, in which tertiary and quaternary carbon centers were formed with exclusively branched selectivity under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanism studies support that the decarboxylation follows the carbon-carbon bond formation and the reaction occurs in an outer-sphere mechanism.
