Abstract
The addition of nucleophilic methoxyarenes to allenes proceeds at room temperature in dichloromethane with a catalytic amount of phosphite-gold(I) precatalyst and silver additive. The addition is regioselective for the allene terminus, and generates E-allylation products without the need for prefunctionalization of the synthons as organometallics or allyl bromides. Coordinating heteroaromatics and sterically hindered allenes do not participate in the reaction.Entities:
