A methodology to synthesize trans- and cis-alkenes via well-controlled hydroalkylation of alkyl radicals to alkynes is reported. α-Bromocarbonyl compounds are useful alkyl radical precursors in the presence of Cu(I) catalysts. Under copper catalyst conditions and in the presence of silane or alcohol/B2pin2, trans- and cis-hydroalkylation occurred with excellent stereoselectivities. The judicious choice of additives allowed for this stereodivergence, giving selective access to the trans-alkylated alkenes with HSiTMS3 and cis-alkylated alkenes with t-BuOH/B2pin2 in good yields with selectivities.
