Abstract

The application of Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction to forge the atropisomeric biaryls has seen remarkable progress but exploration of this chemistry to directly forge chiral C(aryl)-C(alkene) axis is underdeveloped. The replacement of arene substrates by alkenes intensifies the challenges in terms of reactivity, configurational atropostability of product and selectivity control. By meticulous ligand design and fine-tuning of reaction parameters, we identified a highly active 3,3'-triphenylsilyl-substituted phosphite ligand to realize arene-alkene Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of hindered aryl halides and vinyl boronates under very mild conditions. The axially chiral acyclic aryl-alkenes were generated in commendable efficiency, enantioselectivity and E/Z selectivity.
