Asymmetric Oxidative Arene-Alkene Coupling Fujiwara-Moritani Reactions

6 Asymmetric Oxidative Arene-Alkene Coupling (Fujiwara-Moritani) Reactions 

The Fujiwara-Moritani reaction is a Pd-catalyzed oxidative coupling of an unfunctionalized arene with an alkene, in which a C-H bond of the arene is directly converted to a new C-C bond. Developing an asymmetric version of this type of reaction remains a formidable challenge in modern synthetic
