title: Concatenated catalytic asymmetric allene diboration/allylation/functionalization.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Palladium-catalyzed enantioselective diboration of prochiral allenes generates a reactive chiral allylboron intermediate which is a versatile reagent for the allylation of carbonyls. Experiments that improve the enantioselectivity of this process, examine the substrate scope, and are directed toward functionalization of the allylation intermediate are described.
