Homogeneous Pd-Catalyzed Enantioselective Decarboxylative Protonation

摘要

General homogeneous conditions for the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of carbonyl compounds with tertiary carbon stereocenters at the α-position are reported. The highly reactive catalyst tolerates a variety of substrate substitution and functionality, and generates enantioenriched cyclic ketones from racemic allyl β-ketoester starting materials.
