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.
Practical and efficient catalytic asymmetric allylic transfer reactions of achiral aldehydes with tin reagents promoted by BINOL-Ti(IV) complex are achieved with high enantioselectivity by the utilization of subjoined Lewis acid, B(OMe)3.

was formed between the center carbon atom of the allene moiety and the hydroxyl oxygen, which was established by the X-ray single crystal diffraction study of gamma-lactone 3p. The highly opticallyactive 3-chloromethyl-2(5H)-furanones could be easily prepared from the readily available opticallyactive 2,3-allenols. A mechanism for this reaction was proposed.
