Abstract The past century has witnessed a large number of reports on the Z / E isomerization alkenes. However, vast majority them are still limited to di- and tri-substituted stereospecific tetrasubstituted alkenes remains be an underdeveloped area, thus lacking in stereodivergent synthesis axially chiral Herein we report atroposelective alkene analogues by asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization, followed their via triplet energy transfer photocatalysis. In this regard, N -vinylquinolinones is achieved efficiently. Mechanistic studies indicate that benzylic radical generation distribution two key factors for preserving enantioselectivities compounds.

Catalytic enantioselective borylation reactions of unsaturated bonds as powerful tools for the synthesis diverse chiral organoboron compounds have gained much attention and wide applications in various fields. However, atroposelective arylboration reaction with carbon–carbon triple 1,3-enynes to obtain axially 1,3-dienylboronates remains an elusive significant challenge. Hence, we develop a cooperative copper- palladium-catalyzed assemble plentiful function enriched single step from easily available 1,3-enynes, B2pin2, aryl bromides high levels chemo-, regio-, stereo-, atroposelectivity.
