A rhodium-catalyzed chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective intermolecular decarboxylative alkynylation of terminal allenes with arylpropiolic acids is reported. Employing a Rh(I)/(R)-Tol-BINAP catalytic system, branched allylic 1,4-enynes were obtained under mild conditions. The overall utility of this protocol is exemplified by a broad functional group compatibility.
