Abstract

Thinking outside the box: A newly developed C1-symmetric Rh/Phebox complex efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric alkynylation of α-ketoester 1 with various aryl and alkyl substituted terminal alkynes to provide the corresponding chiral tertiary propargylic alcohols with up to 99 % ee (see scheme; TMS=trimethylsilyl).
