Lucciola, Daniela published the artcileFurther developments of an enantioselective palladium-catalyzed polyene cyclization: surprising solvent and ligand effects, Recommanded Product: (R)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-2,2,2′,2′-tetrafluoro-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole, the publication is Synlett (2011), 1618-1622, database is CAplus.
The enantioselectivity of a Pd-catalyzed domino Heck-Mizoroki cyclization is dramatically enhanced by ligand and solvent choice. Electron-deficient ligands such as (R)-DIFLUORPHOS gave I in %ee values ranging from 94% ee to >99% ee. EtOH was found to be superior to other solvents traditionally used in Heck-Mizoroki reactions, generally showing increases in enantioselectivity when compared to toluene. It is also shown that microwave heating accelerates the reaction in either solvent and allows for a longer catalyst lifetime without eroding the %ee.
