    Abstract:
    Performing asymmetric cross-coupling reactions between propargylic electrophiles and aryl nucleophiles is a well-established method to build enantioenriched benzylic alkynes. Here, a catalytic enantioselective propargyl-aryl cross-coupling between two electrophiles was achieved for the first time in a stereoconvergent manner. Propargylic chlorides were treated with aryl iodides as well as heteroaryl iodides in the presence of a chiral nickel complex, and manganese metal was used as a stoichiometric reductant, allowing for the construction of a propargyl C-aryl bond under mild conditions. An alternative dual nickel/photoredox catalytic protocol was also developed for this cross-electrophile coupling in the absence of a metal reductant. The potential utility of this conversion is demonstrated in the facile construction of stereoenriched bioactive molecule derivatives and medicinal compounds based on the diversity of acetylenic chemistry. Detailed experimental studies have revealed the key mechanistic features of this transformation.
