Herein we report the copper-catalyzed silylation of propargylic difluorides to generate axially chiral, tetrasubstituted monofluoroallenes in both good yields (27 examples >80%) and enantioselectivities (82-98% ee). Compared to previously reported synthetic routes to axially chiral allenes (ACAs) from prochiral substrates, a mechanistically distinct reaction has been developed: the enantiodiscrimination between enantiotopic fluorides to set an axial stereocenter. DFT calculations and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) suggest that β-fluoride elimination from an alkenyl copper intermediate likely proceeds through a syn-β-fluoride elimination pathway rather than an anti-elimination pathway. The effects of the C1-symmetric Josiphos-derived ligand on reactivity and enantioselectivity were investigated. Not only does this report showcase that alkenyl copper species (like their alkyl counterparts) can undergo β-fluoride elimination, but this elimination can be achieved in an enantioselective fashion.

The regiocontrolled functionalization of 1,3-dienes has become a powerful tool for divergent synthesis, yet it remains a long-standing challenge for aliphatic substrates. Herein, we report a reductive approach for a branch-selective 1,2-hydrovinylation of aliphatic 1,3-dienes with R-X electrophiles, which represents a new selectivity pattern for diene functionalization. Simple butadiene, aromatic 1,3-dienes, and highly conjugated polyene were also tolerated. The combination of Ni(0) and the phosphine-nitrile ligand generally resulted in >20:1 regioselectivity with the retention of the geometry of the C3-C4 double bonds. This reaction proceeds with a broad substrate scope, and it allows for the conjugation of two biologically active units to form more complex polyene molecules, such as tetraene and pentaene as well as heptaene.

There is sufficient evidence to suggest that myo-inositol pentakisphosphate is a vital intermediate species in higher inositol phosphate metabolism, however, its biological roles and physiological function in cells remain uncertain. A tethered myo-inosito
