Palladium(ii)-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization ring opening of oxabicyclic alkenes with alkynylanilines: efficient access to enantioenriched functionalized cyclohexenes

Enantioselective Pd( ii )-catalyzed cascade desymmetrization coupling of oxabicyclic alkenes with alkynylanilines enables the synthesis of structurally complicated indolated cyclohexenes in a diastereoselective and enantioselective manner.
