Abstract

A highly enantioselective gold(I)-catalyzed intermolecular annulation of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with N-allenamides is presented. The present work represents the first example of a gold-catalyzed annulation with the proximal C=C bond of an N-allenamide, and is distinctly different from the previously observed annulations at the distal C=C bond. Interestingly, both enantiomers of the products could be obtained in good yields with high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity by using either diastereomer of a binol-derived phosphoramidite as a chiral ligand.
