Abstract

We describe herein an efficient and diastereoselective substrate-directable Heck–Matsuda reaction with nonactivated five-membered olefins. The carbamate acts as the main directing group in the arylation process allowing the synthesis of several functionalized aryl cyclopentenes in good to excellent diastereoselectivities (> 85: 15) and in isolated yields ranging from 41 to 90%. No double bond isomerizations were observed in these Heck ...
