Abstract

An effective phosphine-catalyzed method was developed for the enantioselective addition of aryl thiols to the γ position of allenoates, thereby providing ready access to aryl alkyl sulfides in very good ee. The array of mechanistic data are consistent with the addition of the chiral phosphine to the allenoate being the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle. The optimized reaction conditions, as well as the mechanistic observations, differ markedly from an earlier report on asymmetric additions of alkylthiols to allenoates, which highlights the potential for divergent behavior between alkyl and aryl thiols when acting as nucleophiles.
