One‐Step Synthesis of Chiral 9,10‐Dihydrophenanthrenes via Ligand‐Enabled Enantioselective Cascade β,γ‐Diarylation of Acids

)-H bonds were activated, leading to the formation of four C-C bonds and three chiral centers in one pot. A plausible catalytic pathway starts with enantioselective β,γ-dehydrogenation to form chiral β,γ-cyclohexene. Intriguingly, this olefin serves as a norbornene-type reagent (presumably assisted by the carboxyl directing effect), relaying two successive Catellani arylation reactions and a C-H arylation reaction to furnish chiral 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes along with meta-selective homocoupling products of iodoarene.
