Significance

This report illustrates the first examples of dynamic kinetic enantioselective hydroaminations of axially chiral allenes. Though the scope is modest and the Z:E selectivities and enantioselectivities are poor for some examples, the authors have obtained good evidence for the dynamic nature of this process through kinetic studies.
