Abstract

Abstract Image

Asymmetric 1,3-rearrangement of an alkynyl group of alkynyl alkenyl carbinols giving β-alkynylketones took place in high yields with high enantioselectivity in the presence of a hydroxyrhodium/(R)-binap catalyst. The present method including a key β-alkynyl elimination step in the catalytic cycle is synthetically equivalent to the asymmetric conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to β-substituted enones.
