Cationic Pd(II)-Catalyzed Highly Enantioselective Arylative Cyclization of Alkyne-Tethered Enals or Enones Initiated by Carbopalladation of Alkynes with Arylboronic Acids

Abstract

Cationic Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective arylative cyclization of alkyne-tethered enals or enones initiated by carbopalladation of alkynes was developed without the necessity of a redox system
