Abstract
A Cu-catalyzed hydroalumination of readily accessible allenes with diisobutylaluminum hydride provides allylaluminum reagents under mild reaction conditions. A subsequent tandem nucleophilic addition to aldehydes/Oppenauer oxidation enables a one-pot synthesis of allylic ketones with α-tertiary and α-quaternary centers.
