Ni-catalyzed Enantioselective C–C Bond-Formation via C(sp2)–O Cleavage in Aryl Esters

Abstract

<p> We report the first enantioselective C<img alt="[BOND]" src="http://onlinelibrarystatic.wiley.com/undisplayable_characters/00f8ff.gif" />C bond formation through C<img alt="[BOND]" src="http://onlinelibrarystatic.wiley.com/undisplayable_characters/00f8ff.gif" />O 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.</p>
