Abstract

Abstract In the palladium (II) -catalyzed enyne coupling reactions, the nitrogen-containing ligand plays the same role as the halide ion to inhibit the β-hydride elimination. Employing the pymox or bisoxazoline as ligands, the catalytic asymmetric cyclization of (Z) -4'-acetoxy-2'-butenyl 2-alkynoates initiated by acetoxypalladation was established with high efficiency (up to 92% ee) to afford the optically active γ-butyrolactones.
