Cu-Catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric allylation enabled enantioselective assembly of sterically congested triaryl tertiary alcohols

Nature Communications, Published online: 18 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-74187-6 The authors present a copper-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric allylation of racemic α,β,β-triarylethanones, providing efficient access to a diverse range of chiral α,β,β-triaryl tertiary alcohols with robust enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.
