Silver(I)-mediated highly enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral allenes under thermal and microwave-assisted conditions

Vanessa Kar-Yan Lo, Cong-Ying Zhou, Man-Kin Wong and Chi-Ming Che

Silver(I) salts mediated stereospecific transformation of optically active propargylamines to axially chiral allenes with excellent enantioselectivities (17 examples with 96–99% ee; one substrate with 91% ee) without subsequent racemization.
