Abstract
An enantiospecific approach to the synthesis of optically active, trisubstituted allenes from chiral propargylic benzoates and arylboronic acids is catalyzed by a complex formed in situ from [{Rh(cod)Cl}2] and a readily available phosphoramidite ligand. The method furnishes substituted allenes in high yields and excellent enantiospecificity under mild conditions.
