A chiral sulfinamide phosphine ligand enables a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective three-component coupling of N-tosylhydrazones, aryl halides, and terminal alkynes under mild conditions utilizing (GF-Phos) to provide chiral diarylmethyl alkynes. This reaction features readily available starting materials, general substrate scope, high enantioselectivity, and ease of scale-up.
