β¦ Synopsis
Chiral methylsulfonyl-based sulfamide-amine alcohol (SAA) ligands were synthesized from commercially available starting materials in two simple steps. Methylsulfonyl-based SAA ligands catalyzed the asymmetric alkynylation of various aldehydes using alkynylzinc to provide chiral propargyl alcohols with moderate to good enantioselectivity up to 83% ee.

The easily prepared chiral tertiary amino alcohol 1a was found to catalyze the reaction of alkynylzinc reagents with various aldehydes to generate chiral propargylic alcohols with moderate-to-good enantioselectivities. The mechanism of the reaction is also discussed in this Letter. A novel theoretic
