An asymmetric propargylic alkylation of α-cyanocarbonyls is developed for the first time under cooperative Cu(I) and organocatalysis. With ethynyl benzoxazinanones as the propargylic electrophile, this decarboxylative doubly stereoconvergent reaction evades alkyne hydroamination to furnish acyclic α-propargylic cyanocarbonyls, bearing vicinal tertiary and quaternary stereocenters, with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity (up to >20:1 dr and 99.5:0.5 er).
