Breaking news on the enantioselective intermolecular Heck reaction

Martin Oestreich. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

Glowing results with less phosphorus: Tremendous progress has been made recently in asymmetric intermolecular Heck chemistry. Previously unprecedented enantioselective Heck-Matsuda reactions have been accomplished, and mixed phosphine/phosphine oxides have been shown to be superior ligands in enantioselective Mizoroki-Heck reactions. All of this was achieved with chiral ligands containing few or even no phosphorus donors (see scheme).

Keywords: Heck-Matsuda reaction; Mizoroki-Heck reaction; asymmetric catalysis; hemilabile ligands.
