Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective C-C bond formation through C(sp2)-O cleavage in aryl esters
Abstract
We report the first enantioselective CC bond formation through CO bond cleavage using aryl ester counterparts. This method is characterized by its wide substrate scope and results in the formation of quaternary stereogenic centers with high yields and asymmetric induction.
Keywords: C-O cleavage; C-O electrophiles; aryl esters; nickel catalysis.
