A strategy for achieving diastereodivergent azidations of enynes has been developed, employing azide transfer from the M-N3 complex to alkyl radicals. Following this concept, the diastereoselectivity has been switched by modulating the transition metals and the ligands. The Mn(III)-mediated radical cyclization/azidation cascade of 1,7-enynes afforded trans-fused pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolinones, whereas the Cu(II)/bipyridine system gave cis-products.
