The utility of the new class of chiral ligand, tethered bis(8-quinolinol) (TBOxH), is further explored. Its chromiumcomplex, TBOxCr(III)Cl, effectively catalyzes the asymmetric allenylation reactions of various aldehydes at room temperature with high yields (up to 91%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). The scope of the present method is shown to be wide, and this method represents an efficient
substrates 1 and 2 can be regioselectively converted into chiral allenyl alcohols 3 through the title reaction [Eq. (1)] with the synergetic reagent iPrSBEt2 and a chiral TiIV catalyst. The dramatic regioselectivity originates from the regulation of the equilibriumbetween propargyl- and allenylstannanes during the catalytic process.
