We report a method to prepare α-chiral carboxylic acid derivatives, including those bearing all-carbon quaternary centers, through an enantioselective CuH-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of allenes with a commercially available fluoroformate. A broad range of heterocycles and functional groups on the allenes were tolerated in this protocol, giving enantioenriched α-quaternary and tertiary carboxylic acid derivatives in good yields with exclusive branched regioselectivity. The synthetic utility of t ...[more]
