Catalytic hydrogenation of 1,3-enynes1a−7ain the presence of ethyl pyruvate and related activated ketones using chirally modified cationic rhodium catalysts results in reductive coupling to afford dienylated α-hydroxy esters1b−7band3c−3fwith exceptional levels of regio- and enantiocontrol. These studies represent the first highly enantioselective direct catalytic reductive couplings of alkynes to ketones. As illustrated by the conversion of6bto6c−6h, the diene containing the side chain of the coupling products is subject to diverse chemo- and regioselective manipulation. Reductive coupling of enyne6aand ethyl pyruvate using elemental deuterium provides the monodeuterated productdeuterio-6b, consistent with a catalytic mechanism involving alkyne−carbonyl oxidative coupling followed by hydrogenolytic cleavage of the resulting oxametallacycle, as corroborated by ESI−MS analysis.
