| Abstract: | Asymmetric methods for preparation of chiral alkynyl‐containing compounds are in extremely high demand in many sectors of chemical research. In this work, we report the discovery of a general organocatalytic enantioselective alkynylation based on the idea of Si/F activation of the allylic C?F bond. This approach features reasonably broad substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and relatively neutral, mild, and operationally convenient reaction conditions; all of which bode well for the synthetic value of the discovered method. In particular, this method provides unique chiral skipped 1,4‐ene‐ynes having two kinds of versatile functional groups. |
