A general, highly selective asymmetric redox-relay oxidative Heck reaction using achiral or racemic acyclic alkenols and boronic acid derivatives is reported. This reaction delivers remotely functionalized arylated carbonyl products from acyclic alkenol substrates, with excellent enantioselectivity under mild conditions, bearing a range of useful functionality. A preliminary mechanistic investigation suggests that the regioselectivity of the initial migratory insertion is highly dependent on the ...[more]
