摘要
We report an enantioselective hydroarylation reaction of styrenes and 1,3-dienes with arylboronic acids catalyzed by nickel complexes bearing chiral spiro amino phosphine ligands.The reaction serves as an efficient,straightf orward,and mild method for the preparation of enantio enriched 1,1-diarylalkanes,which are important building blocks for the synthesis of many biologically active molecules.This redox neutral reaction uses only catalytic amounts of the reagents and is,therefore,atom economical and environmentally benign.
