methyl ethers, which would react with primary alkyl Grignard reagents under the catalysis of CuBr to afford 3-substituted 1,2-allenes or 2-substituted secondary 2,3-allenols, respectively. The reaction may be applied to the synthesis of optically active 2-substituted secondary 2,3-allenols with up to >99% ee without any protection to the free hydroxyl group in the starting 4-hydroxy-2-alkynyl methyl
