Rhodium‐Catalyzed Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations of Racemic Allenes by the 3+2 Annulation of Aryl Ketimines

Racemization required: Rhodium(I)-catalyzed CH activation directed by unprotected ketimines initiates selective 3+2 cycloaddition with allenes, providing access to highly substituted indenylamines. The reaction proceeds through the dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of racemic allenes. The catalyst controls the enantio- and diastereoselectivity, the regioselectivities of the CH activation and allene incorporation, as well as the E/Z ratio.
