We describe herein a synthetically useful method for the enantioselective intermolecular Heck-Matsuda arylation of acyclic allylic alcohols. Aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates were applied as arylating agents in the presence of Pd(TFA)2 and a chiral, commercially available, bisoxazoline ligand. The methodology is straightforward, robust, scalable up to a few grams, and of broad scope allowing the synthesis of a range of β-aryl-carbonyl compounds in good to high enantioselectivities and yields. This new enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation allowed the synthesis of β-aryl-γ-lactones and β-aryl aldehydes, which play a vital role as key intermediates in the synthesis of the biologically active compounds, such as (R)-baclofen, (R)-rolipram, (S)-curcumene, (S)-dehydrocurcumene, and (S)-tumerone.

A highly efficient and selective rearrangement reaction of bromohydrins to aldehydes mediated by CF3CO2ZnEt was described. The secondary and tertiary aldehydes were prepared under mild conditions in good to excellent yields (85-99%). The scope and limitations of this rearrangement process were also investigated.
