Enantioselective desymmetrization of cyclohexadienones via an intramolecular Rauhut–Currier reaction of allenoates
The Rauhut-Currier reaction is a powerful method to form carbon-carbon bonds. Here, the authors report an enantioselective intramolecular variant between alkenes and allenoates, giving access to highly functionalised bicyclic lactones in excellent enantiomeric excess.
