Enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral P-containing allenes for allenyl chirality.

In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Wang J. and co-workers have established an efficient and practical route to construct versatile di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted phosphoryl allenes via a nickel-catalyzed propargylic substitution reaction, offering a powerful tool for the assembly of axially chiral phosphorus-containing allenes.
