Enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclopent-2-enones by nickel-catalyzed desymmetrization of malonate esters

The enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized chiral cyclopent-2-enones by the reaction of alkynyl malonate esters with arylboronic acids is described. These desymmetrizing arylative cyclizations are catalyzed by a chiral phosphinooxazoline–nickel complex, and cyclization is enabled by the...
