Transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric multicomponent reactions with two similar substrates often suffer from the lack of strategies to control the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Here, the authors report a Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric radical 1,2-carboalkynylation of two different terminal alkynes and alkyl halides with chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity.
