Abstract

Asymmetric cross-coupling of achiral biaryl ditriflates with aryl Grignard reagents in the presence of 1 equiv of lithium bromide and 5 mol% of palladium complex PdCl2 [(S)- alaphos], where alaphos stands for (2-dimethylamino) propyldiphenylphosphine, gave axially chiral monophenylation products with high enantioposition-selectivity. The remaining triflate group in the monophenylation products was substituted with carboxyl and ...
