An air-stable chiral P,N-ligand/PdCl 2 partner enables a highly enantioselective oxidative homocoupling of naphthylboronic acids/boronates only in an oxygen atmosphere

Key Points

• The aim was to achieve enantioselective oxidative homocoupling of naphthylboronic acids using a chiral P,N-ligand/PdCl2 complex.
• Utilized a chiral P,N-ligand/PdCl2 complex for catalysis.
• Conducted reactions in an oxygen atmosphere.
• Performed reactions at high temperature conditions.
• Achieved enantioselective oxidative homocoupling for the first time.
• Demonstrated effective use of the chiral ligand in the presence of oxygen.
