A highly enantioselective synthesis of trisubstituted allenes has been achieved through Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryldiazoalkanes and terminal alkynes with chiral bisoxazoline ligands. Alkynyl migratory insertion of Cu(I) carbene is proposed as the key step for the construction of axial chirality.
