摘要

Chiral γ-butenolides, which are widely prevalent in natural products and pharmaceuticals, necessitate synthetic methods that precisely control both stereochemistry and substituent diversity. In this study, we report a Cu/PyBim-catalyzed asymmetric lactonization of 2,3-allenoic acids initiated by sulfonyl or phosphonyl radicals. This strategy facilitates the direct construction of enantioenriched γ-butenolides featuring modular endocyclic double bond substituents, thereby circumventing the traditional reliance on prefunctionalized substrates. Synthetic applications of the obtained chiral γ-butenolide are emphasized and mechanistic experiments are investigated.
