Atroposelective desymmetrization of 2-arylresorcinols via Tsuji-Trost allylation

Desymmetrization of symmetric biaryls is an efficient but underexplored way to approach axially chiral molecules. Here, the authors report the atroposelective desymmetrization of 2- arylresorcinols via chiral palladium complex-catalyzed allylic alkylation.
