Using an iridium catalyst modified by PhanePhos, CF<sub>3</sub>-allenes react with methanol to form branched products of hydrohydroxymethylation as single regioisomers with excellent levels of enantiomeric enrichment. This hydrogen autotransfer process enables catalytic enantioselective formation of acyclic CF<sub>3</sub>-bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in the absence of stoichiometric metals or byproducts. ...[more]
