Asymmetric Catalytic 1,6‐Conjugate Addition/Aromatization of <i>para</i>‐Quinone Methides: Enantioselective Introduction of Functionalized Diarylmethine Stereogenic Centers

Abstract

It′s just a phase: The title reaction sequence of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) has been developed with malonates under phase-transfer catalysis. The reaction also offers an alternative route to asymmetric construction of diarylmethine stereocenters in excellent enantioselectivities and high yields.
