Abstract
A visible-light-promoted photoredox/nickel protocol for the enantioselective three-component carboarylation of alkenes with tertiary and secondary alkyltrifluoroborates and aryl bromides is described. This redox-neutral protocol allows for facile and divergent access to a wide array of enantioenriched β-alkyl-α-arylated carbonyls, phosphonates, and sulfones in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities from readily available starting materials. We also report a modular and enantioselective synthesis of flurbiprofen analogs and piragliatin lead compound to demonstrate synthetic utility. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies were performed to gain insights into the mechanism and origin of chemo- and enantioselectivity.
