Pd-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular α-arylation of α-substituted cyclic ketones: facile synthesis of functionalized chiral spirobicycles†
Abstract
Catalytic synthesis of chiral spirocyclic ketones was accomplished via the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular α-arylation of α-substituted cyclic ketones. The obtained spirocyclic ketone could be converted into a bifunctional organocatalyst.
