aUnless otherwise stated, all reactions were performed on a 0.15 mmol scale. Dr, rr and E/Z ratios were determined by crude 1H NMR analysis. For unsymmetrical alkynes, unless otherwise noted, >20/1 rrs were observed. The yields were isolated yields. Ee values were determined by chiral HPLC. For details, see Supplementary Information section 6. bDr could not be determined by crude 1H NMR, and the minor diastereomer was not observed after column purification. cThe minor Z isomer was not observed after column purification. dCo[(S,S)-Ph-BPE]Cl2 (20 mol%) was used. eAcr Mes+ClO4- (3.0 mol%) was used instead of 3DPA2FBN. f4CzTPN-(8tBu) (3.0 mol%) was used instead of 3DPA2FBN. g4DPAIPN (3.0 mol%) was used instead of 3DPA2FBN. h(R)-H8-BINAP (L2, 10 mol%) was used instead of (S,S)-Ph-BPE, b/l was determined by crude 1H NMR analysis.
