The addition of allenylzinc bromides to α-chiral imines proceeds with very high diastereoselectivity. This result is in contrast with the addition to the corresponding aldehydes, leading to poor diastereoselectivity. The anti/anti adducts are explained by Felkin-Ahn and Gaudemar-Yamamoto models of the transition state.
