Allenes are the simplest class of cumulenes, with two contiguous C C bonds, and show
unique physical and chemical properties. These features make allenes particularly attractive …

The addition of an allylic organometallic compound to a carbonyl compound or an imine is of
great synthetic interest because in this reaction together with a new functionality (hydroxyl or …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

The catalytic enantioselective allylation of aldehydes is a long-standing problem of
considerable interest to the chemical community. We disclose a new high-yielding and …

Allene–Verbindungen mit zwei benachbarten C C‐Bindungen–bilden die einfachste
Klasse unter den Cumulenen. Sie verfügen über außergewöhnliche physikalische und …

Catalytic asymmetric hydroboration of unsaturated bonds has been recognized as the most
straightforward method for the construction of chiral organoboron compounds. Although …

The reactions of Hoppe's lithiated carbamates with vinylboranes and boronic esters give
allylic boranes/boronic esters, and subsequent addition of aldehydes provides a new route …

Enantiomerically pure homopropargylic alcohols are highly useful intermediates, with broad
synthetic utility. The terminal alkyne functionality serves as a synthetic handle for …

The first catalytic enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed carbonyl reductive couplings of
allene pronucleophiles is described. Using an iodide-modified ruthenium-BINAP-catalyst …

Readily available, α-substituted allyl/crotyl pinacol boronic esters often give low E/Z
selectivity (with Z favored) in reactions with aldehydes. We found that addition of n BuLi to …
