in asymmetric propargylation with 1-substituted allenylboronate reagents (1 in Scheme 1).
We envisioned that enantioenriched homopropargylic alcohols 2 should be accessible from
the addition of boronates 1 to aldehydes through the proper control of enantioselectivity by a
suitable chiral catalyst. Inspired by the work of Antilla (10a) and Reddy (10b) on chiral,
nonracemic phosphoric acid catalyzed … In summary, we developed a chiral phosphoric acid …
