Asymmetric Heck-type reaction of 1-cyclohexenylphenyliodonium salt with 2, 3-dihydrofuran was investigated for the first time. The optically active (up to 78% ee) coupling product was obtained in low to moderate yield. The potential and associated problems of this asymmetric reaction are discussed.
