Kinetic resolution of racemic 2,3-allenoates by organocatalytic asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

Org Lett. 2010 Sep 17;12(18):4050-3. doi: 10.1021/ol101544c.

Abstract

The kinetic resolution of racemic 2,3-allenoates was realized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition by using a bisphosphoric acid catalyst, affording the optically active 2,3-allenoates and 3-methylenepyrrolidine derivatives in high yields and enantioselectivities.
