Abstract

Abstract An efficient palladium catalyst is presented for the formation of benzylic quaternary stereocenters by conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to a variety of β, β-disubstituted carbocyclic, heterocyclic, and acyclic enones. The catalyst is readily prepared from PdCl 2, PhBOX, and AgSbF 6, and provides products in up to 99% enantiomeric excess, with good yields. Based on this strategy,(−)-α-cuparenone has been prepared in only two steps.
