The smooth addition of phenylacetylene to aromatic ketones in the presence of catalytic amounts of Cu(OTf) 2 and camphorsulfonamide provides the corresponding tertiary propargylic alcohols in high yields and with up to 97 % ee. This reaction represents a highly enantioselective catalytic addition of dialkynyl zinc reagents to simple ketones.
