The Role of Bent Acyclic Allene Gold Complexes in Axis‐to‐Center Chirality Transfers

Abstract

Activation of allenes toward nucleophilic attack by gold complexes ([Au], see scheme) often proceeds with axis-to-center chirality transfer. The stereochemical information is shown to be maintained in not only η2 allene complexes, but also in bent η1 allene complexes.
