The effects of ligand and substrate choice on the Pd-catalyzed cyclization of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones were examined. In the presence of a chiral ligand, the enantioselectivity of the desymmetrization is remarkably sensitive to structural changes in both the ligand and the substrate. Additionally, the regioselectivity of the reaction (5- vs. 6-membered ring formation) is dependent on the proximity of heteroatoms to the alkyne.
