Abstract
Chiral propargylic cyanides are often used as small-molecule feedstocks for the introduction of chiral centers into various valuable products and complex molecules. Here, we have developed a highly atom-economical strategy for the chiral copper complex-catalyzed synthesis of chiral propargylic cyanides. Propargylic radicals can be smoothly obtained by direct decarboxylation of the propargylic carboxylic acids without preactivation. The reactions show excellent selectivity and functional group compatibility. Gram-scale reaction and several conversion reactions from chiral propargylic cyanide have demonstrated the synthetic value of this strategy.
