Abstract: Identification of a novel catalyst-allenoate pair allows enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of α-methylstyrene. To understand the origin of selectivity, a detailed mechanistic investigation was conducted. Herein, two competing reaction pathways are proposed, which operate simultaneously and… read more here.
