Pd(<scp>ii</scp>)-Catalyzed asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to Meldrum's acid-derived dienes

Abstract

A Pd(<sc>ii</sc>)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to Meldrum's acid-derived dienes has been realized using a new pyridine–oxazoline ligand bearing an extended arm.
