A Highly Enantioselective Intramolecular Heck Reaction with a Monodentate Ligand

Abstract
An efficient enantioselective intramolecular Heck reaction of cyclohexadienones, using readily available and modular TADDOL-based mono- and bidentate phosphoramidites as chiral ligands and not requiring any additives, has been developed. Excellent enantioselectivities up to 96% ee are reached for the first time in a Heck reaction with monodentate ligands.
