75. During the preparation of our manuscript, Gong and co-workers reported a similar cascade reaction in which a combination of Cu(CH3CN)4PF6/iPr-Pybox and BTM was employed as catalyst: J. Song, Z. J. Zhang, L. Z. Gong, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 56, 5212. In our catalysis system the optimal combination of catalysts is different to that reported by Gong and co-workers, and a relatively larger substrate scope was evaluated in our studies.

82. In Cu-catalyzed propargylic substitution reactions, Cu–allenylidene complexes, either mono-Cu or di-Cu, were frequently included as key intermediates in the catalytic cycle and to explain the chiral induction (see Ref. [5] and [6] for examples). However, no solid evidence has been found to support the specific structure of Cu–allenylidene complexes.
