Pd-catalyzed asymmetric β-hydride elimination en route to chiral allenes.

Abstract excerpt

We wish to report our preliminary results on the discovery and development of a catalytic, asymmetric β-hydride elimination from vinyl Pd(II)-complexes derived from enol triflates to access chiral allenes. To achieve this, we developed a class of chiral phosphite ligands that demonstrate high enantioselectivity, allow access of either allene enantiomer, and are readily synthesized. The methodology is demonstrated...
