Enantioselective desymmetrizing palladium catalyzed carbonylation reactions: the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of quaternary carbon center containing 1,3-dienes.
A desymmetrization protocol has been used to develop a palladium catalyzed enantioselective carbonylation process. Achiral cyclic bis-alkenyltriflates are converted to their corresponding monoester derivatives with selectivities of up to 96% ee.
