Fig. 2: Substrate scope of enantioselective alkynylation of CāP bond.

Reaction conditions: 1 (0.20āmmol), 2 (2.0 equiv), [Pd(Allyl)Cl]2 (2.5āmol%), L6 (11āmol%), CuBr (1.0 equiv), Cs2CO3 (2.0 equiv), 2-Me-THF (2.0āmL) at 45ā°C for 36āh, then S8 (5 equiv) or BH3Ā·SMe2 (2 equiv, 10āM in Me2S), unless otherwise stated. Isolated yields were reported. ee values of the major isomers are shown and determined by chiral HPLC analysis. dr values were determined by 1H NMR analysis of the crude reaction mixtures; a60āh; b1 (0.05āM); cthe reaction was conducted at 60ā°C; dwith bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene as the coupling partner; e0.10āmmol scale.
