Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Dicarboxymethylation of Chiral Allylic Alcohols: Chirality Transfer Affording Optically Active Diesters Containing Three Contiguous Chiral Centers
Pd-catalyzed olefin dicarbonylation of chiral allylic alcohols with chirality transfer affords the chiral alcohol diesters contiguous chiral centers, in good to excellent diastereoselectivities (78- 98%).
