Silver-catalyzed enantioselective carbon dioxide incorporation into bispropargylic alcohols.
The combined catalyst system of silver acetate with a chiral Schiff base ligand achieved asymmetric carbon dioxide incorporation into bispropargylic alcohols with desymmetrization to afford the corresponding cyclic carbonates with good-to-excellent enantiomeric excesses.
