Enantioselective Synthesis of Alkyl Allyl Ethers via Palladium-Catalyzed Redox-Relay Heck Alkenylation of O -Alkyl Enol Ethers.

Herein we report a transformation that generates an array of enantiomerically enriched, alkyl allyl ethers. Cyclic, acyclic, and heteroatom-bearing alkenyl triflates undergo an enantioselective, palladium-catalyzed C-C bond formation with diverse acyclic O -alkyl enol ethers in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
