Control experiments clarified that a bulky tert-butyl group and phosphonium and thiourea moieties were necessary to achieve such high stereoselectivity. In addition, mechanistic investigations indicated the catalyst was converted to the corresponding betaine species, which served as a monomolecular catalyst..

Sigman, Development and Analysis of a Pd(0)-Catalyzed Enantioselective 1,1-Diarylation of Acrylates Enabled by Chiral Anion Phase Transfer, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 10.1021/jacs.6b11367, 2016.11, Enantioselective 1,1-diarylation of terminal alkenes enabled by the combination of Pd catalysis with a chiral anion phase transfer (CAPT) strategy is reported herein. The reaction of substituted benzyl acrylates with aryldiazonium salts and arylboronic acids gave the corresponding 3,3-diarylpropanoates in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivies (up to 98:2 er). Substituents on the benzyl acrylate and CAPT catalyst significantly affect the enantioselectivity, and multidimensional parametrization identified correlations suggesting structural origins for the high stereocontrol..
