Abstract
Low loadings of an in situ generated B-based catalyst, that is derived from a simple, robust, and readily accessible chiral aminoalcohol, promote an enantioselective addition of an allene unit to aldimines. Various aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkyl-substituted homoallenylamides can be obtained in very good yield and high enantiomeric excess at ambient temperature using a commercially available allenylboron reagent.
