Abstract

iPr-IsoQuinox as a chiral ligand enables a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to nitrostyrene in MeOH as solvent under an air atmosphere providing chiral diarylsubstituted products in high yields with good enantioselectivities. A broad range of substrates can be used.
