title: Oxidative Heck desymmetrisation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentene-1,3-diones.
abstract: Oxidative Heck couplings have been successfully developed for 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentene-1,3-diones. The direct coupling onto the 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentene-1,3-dione core provides a novel expedient way of enantioselectively desymmetrising all-carbon quaternary centres.
