title: A new chiral di-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) cyclophane ligand and its application in palladium enantioselective catalysis.
abstract: This report details the synthesis and characterization of the first chiral diNHC cyclophane ligand and its palladium allyl complex. The complex was tested for 1,4-conjugate addition of phenylboronic acid to 2-cyclohexen-1-one and provides R-3-phenylcyclohexanone in 50% enantiomeric excess.
