Abstract

A Pd/Xu-Phos-catalyzed asymmetric Heck/Suzuki domino reaction has been developed that shows high functional group tolerance and enables coupling with various aryl/alkenyl borates. A series of chiral disubstituted dihydroisoquinolinones could be obtained in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
