Palladium‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Reductive Heck Reaction of Aryl Halides

Abstract

Asymmetric reductive Heck reaction of aryl halides is realized in high stereoselectivity. Hydrogen-bond donors, trialkylammonium salts in a glycol solvent, were used to promote halide dissociation from neutral arylpalladium complexes to access cationic, stereoselective pathways.
