Enantio-enriched axially chiral allenyltitanium compounds were synthesized from optically active propargyl alcohol derivatives by the reaction with a divalent titanium reagent, Ti(O-i-Pr)4/2i-PrMgX. The reaction of the allenyltitaniums with a variety of electrophiles such as carbonyl compounds, H+, D+, Br2, NCS, dialkyl azodicarboxylates, trialkylstannyl chlorides and alkylidenemalonates proceeded with high regio- and stereoselectivities to give the corresponding propargylated compounds with a high optical purity. Based on the stereochemical outcome of the reaction, the reaction mechanisms are discussed.
