RT Journal Article T1 Synergistic gold and enamine catalysis: intermolecular α-alkylation of aldehydes with allenamides A1 Fernández Casado, Jaime A1 Nelson, Ronald A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis A1 López García, Fernando K1 Aldehydes K1 Allenamides K1 Enantioselectivity K1 Gold complex K1 Organocatalyst AB Aldehydes can be α-alkylated with allenamides by the combined action of an organocatalyst and a gold complex. The reaction requires the simultaneous generation of an enamine and a gold-activated allenamide. Importantly, by using a chiral amine as organocatalyst it is possible to obtain aldehyde products featuring all-carbon quaternary stereocenter at their α-position, with moderate to good levels of enantioselectivity PB Royal Society of Chemistry SN 1359-7345 YR 2016 FD 2016-01-08 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/14565 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/14565 LA eng NO Fernández-Casado, J., Nelson, R., Mascareñas, J.L. and López, F.
