Abstract The Pd-catalyzed coupling of γ-hydroxyalkenes with aryl bromides affords enantiomerically enriched 2-(arylmethyl) tetrahydrofuran derivatives in good yield and up to 96: 4 er This transformation was achieved through the development of a new TADDOL/2- arylcyclohexanol-derived chiral phosphite ligand. The transformations are effective with an array of different aryl bromides, and can be used for the preparation of products bearing ...
