Enantioselective Dehydrogenative Heck Arylations of Trisubstituted Alkenes with Indoles to Construct Quaternary Stereocenters
An enantioselective, intermolecular dehydrogenative Heck arylation of trisubstituted alkenes to construct remote quaternary stereocenters has been developed. Using a new chiral pyridine oxazoline ligand, good to high enantioselectivity is achieved for various combinations of indole derivatives and trisubstituted alkenes. However, some combinations of substrates led to lower enantioselectivity, which provided the impetus to use structure enantioselectivity correlations to design a better performing ligand.
