Abstract

A conceptually new approach affords optically active α-fluoroketones 3 in high yields with up to 99 % ee from racemic α-fluoro-β-ketoesters 1 in the presence of a chiral phosphinooxazoline ligand 2. The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylation/allylation reaction also allows the highly enantioselective construction of an all-carbon quaternary center. dba=dibenzylideneacetone.
