A sequential intramolecular-intermolecular enantioselective alkene difunctionalization reaction has been developed which is thought to proceed through Pd-catalyzed quinone methide formation. The synthesis of new chiral heterocyclic compounds with adjacent chiral centers is achieved in enantiomeric ratios up to 99:1 and diastereomeric ratios up to 10:1.
