Substituted alkenes are pivotal structural motifs found in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Although numerous methods have been developed to construct substituted alkenes, a generally efficient, mild, catalytic platform for the conversion of alkynes to this highly functionalized scaffold via successive C-C bond forming steps remains in high demand. Here we describe an intermolecular, regio- and syn-stereoselective alkylarylation of terminal alkynes with tertiary alkyl oxalates via photoredox-N ...[more]
