Link : meet.google.com/bfh-poxv-bso RESUMEN : Identification of a novel catalyst−allenoate pair allows enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of α-methylstyrene. To understand the origin of selectivity, a detailed mechanistic investigation was conducted. Herein, two competing reaction pathways are proposed, which operate simultaneously and funnel the alkenes to the same axially chiral cyclobutanes. In agreement with the Woodward− Hoffmann rules, this mechanistic curiosity can be rationalized through a unique symmetry operation that was elucidated by deuterat...
