Rhodium‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Intermolecular Hydroalkoxylation of Allenes and Alkynes with Alcohols: Synthesis of Branched Allylic Ethers

Abstract

Abstract Regio‐ and enantioselective additions of alcohols to either terminal allenes or internal alkynes provides access to allylic ethers by using a Rh I /diphenyl phosphate catalytic system. This method provides an atom‐economic way to obtain chiral aliphatic and aryl allylic ethers in moderate to good yield with good to excellent enantioselectivities.
