Abstract Tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids with a C1 stereogenic center are common unit in many natural and non‐natural compounds of biological importance. Herein we describe novel Cu I ‐catalyzed highly chemo‐ enantioselective synthesis chiral tetrahydroisoquinoline‐alkaloid derivatives from readily available unsubstituted tetrahydroisoquinolines, aldehydes, terminal alkynes the presence ligand ( R , )‐N‐pinap. This synthetic operation installs two substituents 1‐ 2‐positions.
Here, we show a CuBr2-catalyzed approach for highly enantioselective synthesis (93-99% ee) of allenols from aldehydes and terminal alkynols with the absolute configuration being controlled by applying readily available (R)- or (S)-α,α-diphenylprolinol.

The ring opening-coupling reaction of cyclopropanols with propargylic carbonates affording synthetically attractive allenyl ketones has been developed. mechanism involves the ligand-exchange in situ formed palladium methoxide followed by carbon-carbon bond cleavage and reductive elimination. reactions proceeded smoothly under mild conditions Pd(0)/XPhos catalysis absence any external base displayed a wide scope application to steroidal skeleton. efficiency chirality transfer synthetic...
An efficient bimetallic Zn(II)/Cu(I)-mediated asymmetric synthesis of simple axially chiral allenes from terminal alkynes and aldehydes was realized by taking advantage the amine (S)-α,α-diphenylprolinol 3. This one-pot procedure is compatible with broad scopes both aldehydes, providing in practical yields an excellent enantioselectivity. Control experiments revealed that CuBr responsible for formation propargylic while combination ZnBr2 plays crucial roles amine-to-allene transformation.
