Abstract
Acyclic internal alkenes are a class of challenging substrates in asymmetric Heck-type reactions due to difficulties related to both reactivity and selectivity control. Employing acyclic alkenyl alcohols, an asymmetric Heck-Matsuda reaction is developed through the strategy of chiral anion phase transfer. Various chiral ketones could be obtained in high levels of enantioselectivity. A catalytic amount of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive is crucial for the reaction to suppress the palladium-hydride-mediated side reactions.
