Abstract
Herein we describe the development of a catalytic enantioselective alkynylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction. The reaction is catalyzed by a newly designed chiral disulfonimide and delivers chiral allenoates in high yields and with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Our process tolerates a broad range of aldehydes in combination with diverse alkynyl-substituted ketene acetals. The reaction products can be readily derivatized to furnish a variety of highly substituted enantiomerically enriched building blocks.

Organocatalytic Formation of Chiral Trisubstituted Allenes and Chiral Furan Derivatives.

TL;DR: A novel reaction that provides chiral allenes by amino catalytic activation of either aldehydes or α,β-unsaturated aldehyde for reaction with alkynyl-substituted enones is presented and the utility of the reaction concept is demonstrated by the synthesis of chiral furan derivatives in high yields and stereoselectivities.

Coarctate and Möbius: The Helical Orbitals of Allene and Other Cumulenes.

TL;DR: The origins and detailed composition of the helical orbitals of cumulenes are traced, which emerge in the simplest Hückel model and are not much modified in advanced computations.
