Summary:[Display omitted] •Construction of quaternary carbon center by the desymmetrization strategy.•Chiral enol lactones with up to 95% ee could be synthesized from prochiral dialkynoic acid.•Synergistic catalysis by chiral Cu(II) complex and chiral (DHQ)2-PHAL base. A highly enantioselective construction of quaternary carbon center has been realized by the desymmetrization strategy. Chiral enol lactones with up to 95% ee could be synthesized from prochiral dialkynoic acid under the catalysis of synergistic chiral Cu(II) complex and chiral (DHQ)2-PHAL base.
