An enantioselective, copper-catalyzed alkynylation of cyclic α,α-diaryl ketiminium ions has been developed to deliver isoquinoline products with diaryl, tetrasubstituted stereocenters. The success of this reaction relied on identification of Ph-PyBox as the optimal ligand, i-Pr<sub>2</sub>NEt as the base, and CHCl<sub>3</sub> as the solvent. A broad scope and functional group tolerance were observed. Notably, the use of both aryl and silyl acetylenes results in high yields and enantioselectiviti ...[more]
