Organocatalytic synthesis of chiral tetrasubstituted allenes from racemic propargylic alcohols
Axially chiral allenes that are normally present in natural products, bioactive molecules, organocatalysts, and functional materials are usually produced from propargylic derivatives. Here, the authors show direct use of propargylic alcohols for catalytic asymmetric allene synthesis.
