Asymmetric Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling in Water with a Chiral Palladium Catalyst Supported on an Amphiphilic Resin

Abstract
You oughta use water: Broad functional-group (FG) tolerance was observed for the title coupling of aryl halides (X=Cl, Br, I) and aryl boronic acids to give biaryl compounds with up to 94 % ee. The chiral imidazoindole phosphine–palladium catalyst supported on an amphiphilic polystyrene–poly(ethylene glycol) (PS–PEG) resin could be recycled readily.
