Abstract

The use of a H8-BINOL-based phosphoramidite ligand enables a Pd-catalyzed highly enantioselective three-component coupling of 1,3-dienes with aryl iodines and sodium dialkyl malonates via a Pd-catalyzed cascade arylation and asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction. This reaction provides an efficient strategy for the enantioselective 1,2-difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes.
