Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran with aryl triflates in water in the presence of surfactants
Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran with aryl triflates occurred in water in the presence of surfactants under very mild conditions. In the presence of C16H33N+Me2(CH2)(3)SO3- (HDAPS) as the surfactant and Binap as the chiral ligand, enantiomeric excess up to 67% with a conversion of 73% after 2 h were obtained.
