A catalyst system derived from commercially available Pd<sub>2</sub>(dba)<sub>3</sub> and P<sup>t</sup>Bu<sub>3</sub> has been applied to the coupling of α-keto ester enolates and aryl bromides. The reaction provides access to an array of β-stereogenic α-keto esters. When the air-stable ligand precursor P<sup>t</sup>Bu<sub>3</sub>·HBF<sub>4</sub> is employed, the reaction can be carried out without use of a glovebox. The derived products are of broad interest given the prevalence of the α-keto a ...[more]
