An enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-xestoquinone has been achieved using a cascade- type asymmetric Heck reaction (in up to 63% ee and 39% chemical yield (66% conversion yield)) of the aryl bromide derivative (4). The use of a larger amount of silver exchanged zeolite resulted in a decrease in ee and yield. This is the first example of an effect of the amount of a silver salt on the ee and yield of a product.
