Synthesis of Enantiomerically Enriched Allenes by (−)-Sparteine-Mediated Lithiation of Alkynyl Carbamates

Abstract
The α-deprotonation of alkynyl carbamates 3 with the chiral base (−)-sparteine (4)/n-butyllithium, transmetalation with ClTi(OiPr)3, and subsequent substitution with an aldehyde results in the formation of enantioenriched 4-hydroxyallenyl carbamates 11. Stereoselection is determined by dynamic resolution of the lithium/(−)-sparteine complexes by selective crystallization.
