Catalytic enantioselective addition of terminal 1,3-diynes to aromatic ketones: facile access to chiral nonracemic tertiary alcohols

Abstract

An efficient, catalytic, and enantioselective 1,2-addition of terminal 1,3-diynes to aromatic ketones was realized in the presence of 10 mol% of a Cu(OTf)2-hydroxycamphor-sulfonamide complex, affording chiral tertiary alcohols in up to 94% yield and 90% ee.
