Enantioselective carbon–sulfur bond formation: γ additions of aryl thiols to allenoates catalyzed by a chiral phosphepine

An effective phosphine-catalyzed method was developed for the enantioselective addition of aryl thiols to the γ position of allenoates, thereby providing ready access to aryl alkyl sulfides in very good ee. The array of mechanistic data are consistent with the addition of the chiral phosphine to the...
