title: Palladacycle-catalyzed highly efficient kinetic resolution of 1-hydroxy-2-aryl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes via dehydration reaction.
abstract: Palladacycles showed their high efficiency in the kinetic resolution of 1-hydroxy-2-aryl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes via dehydration, providing optically active products in high yields and high ee with an S factor up to 26. The superiority of a benzylic-substituted palladacycle in asymmetric induction was also demonstrated.
