Significance

Bromosilyldienes undergo reaction with malonate-derived nucleophiles in the presence of a palladium and a chiral phosphine ligand to generate chiral allenylsilanes in high %ee. The products can react with various electrophiles, generating tertiary and quaternary propargyl carbons with nearly complete axial chirality transfer.
