Abstract
Optimized reaction conditions expand the scope of Pd-catalyzed allyl-allyl couplings to allow the generation of 1,5-dienes with tertiary centers adjacent to quaternary centers as well as a unique set of cyclic structures. Using a chiral bidentate diphosphine ligand, the asymmetric cross-coupling of allylboron reagents and allylic electrophiles establishes 1,5-dienes with adjacent stereocenters in high regio- and stereoselectivity.
