Abstract
A Pd(II)/Brønsted acid catalyzed migratory ring expansion for the synthesis of indene derivatives possessing a stereogenic spirocyclic carbon center was developed. This transformation is believed to mechanistically proceed via enantioselective allylic C-H activation with concomitant semipinacol ring expansion to the nascent π-allylpalladium species. Enantioselectivities as high as 98% ee were attainable.
