Palladium-Catalyzed Conjunctive Cross-Coupling with Electronically Asymmetric Ligands.

Palladium-catalyzed conjunctive cross-coupling can be accomplished with the use of chiral phosphine-oxazoline based ligand structures. Of note, the reaction can be conducted on Grignard-based boron ate complexes and operates without the use of halide-scavenging additives, which are required for other catalyst systems.
