Abstract

An enantioselective Conia-ene reaction of acetylenic β-dicarbonyl compounds employs a DTBMSegphos-Pd(II)/Yb(III) dual catalyst system that allows for the asymmetric synthesis of all-carbon quaternary centers and generates a methylene cyclopentane containing an alkene that can be further manipulated.
