Significance
An enantioselective coupling reaction of aryldiazoalkanes with terminal alkynes is described. A copper complex promotes this transformation to afford trisubstituted allenes with high enantioselectivities. A rational stereocontrol model is proposed.

Comment
This reaction involves copper(I) carbene formation, alkynyl migratory insertion, and protonation. The authors suggest that migratory insertion of the copper(I) carbene species is the enantiodetermining step.
