Chiral allene and N-heteroaryl motifs are present in an ever-growing list of biologically active natural products and synthetic drugs. Although significant progress has been made in asymmetric syntheses of chiral allenes, general and practical protocols for enantioselective syntheses of chiral N-heteroaryl-substituted allenes from readily available starting materials still remain rare. Here we report a highly enantioselective synthesis of quinolinyl-substituted chiral allenes through a copper-catalyzed asymmetric allenylation of quinoline N-oxides with readily available 1,3-enynes. A variety of 1,3-enynes react with quinoline N-oxides, affording the corresponding quinolinyl-substituted allenes in high yields (up to 95%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). This transformation tolerates a variety of functional groups, such as chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl ether, tertiary amine, siloxy, carboxylic ester, imide, pyridine, and thiophene moieties. DFT calculations suggest a pathway involving an intramolecular nucleophilic addition of an allenyl copper intermediate with a coordinated quinoline N-oxide through a five-membered, rather than seven-membered, transition state.
