Versatile C(sp2)−C(sp3) ligand couplings of sulfoxides for the enantioselective synthesis of diarylalkanes

The reaction of chiral (hetero)aryl benzyl sulfoxides with Grignard reagents affords enantiomerically pure diarylalkanes in up to 98% yield and greater than 99.5% enantiomeric excess. This ligand coupling reaction is tolerant to multiple substitution patterns and provides access to diverse areas of...
