lining: Certain silver complexes are capable of selective catalysis of either allenylation or asymmetric propargylationreactions of ketones. Ligand‐free conditions lead to allenyl alcohols as the major product, whereas ligation with Walphos‐8 gives enantioenriched homopropargyl alcohols. This method can be applied to reactions of prochiral diarylketones to provide optically enriched tertiary diaryl alcohols
Zinc amide catalyzed, regioselective allenylation and propargylation of ketones with allenyl boronate is reported. Tertiary allenyl and homopropargyl alcohols were obtained, respectively, in high selectivities, from the same starting materials, simply by changing the reaction conditions. The substrate scope was wide. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reactions are controlled under kinetic and thermodynamic conditions.
