Enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H and (-)-taiwaniaquinol B by iridium-catalyzed borylation and palladium-catalyzed asymmetric α-arylation
We report a concise, enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H and the first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinol B by a route that includes asymmetric palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of a ketone with an aryl bromide that
