Abstract
A wide range of nucleophiles, such as amines and alcohols, reacted intermolecularly with various allenes in the presence of gold catalysts to give the corresponding hydrofunctionalization products in high yields. The intermolecular hydroamination of chiral allenes with aromatic and aliphatic amines proceeded with high to good enantioface selectivities to afford the corresponding chiral allylic amines. On the other hand, in the case of the intermolecular hydroalkoxylation of chiral allenes, no chirality transfer was observed. This marked contrast on the chirality transfer indicates that the mechanisms of gold-catalysis between hydroamination and hydroalkoxylation are different.
