Abstract

A diastereodivergent hydroarylation of terminal alkynes allows highly selective synthesis of both E and Z diastereoisomers of aryl alkenes, from the same set of starting materials, using the same combination of palladium and copper catalysts. The selectivity is controlled by the stoichiometry of the alcohol additive. The reactions tolerates esters, nitriles, alkyl halides, epoxides, carbamates, acetals, ethers, silyl ethers, and thioethers.
