Abstract
A new enantioselective desymmetrizing Mizoroki–Heck reaction is reported. The process affords high yields and enantioselectivities of tricyclic structures containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The substrates for the reaction are efficiently synthesized from Birch reduction–alkylation of benzoic acid and benzoate esters.
