Stereoselective Synthesis of Unsymmetrical β,β-Diarylacrylates by a Heck−Matsuda Reaction: Versatile Building Blocks for Asymmetric Synthesis of β,β-Diphenylpropanoates, 3-Aryl-indole, and 4-Aryl-3,4-dihydro-quinolin-2-one and Formal Synthesis of (−)-Indatraline

in the asymmetric Cu-catalyzed 1,4 reduction reaction to provide β,β-diarylpropanoates in high enantioselectivities. The synthesis of a 3-aryl indole and a chiral 4-aryl-2-quinolone from β,β-diarylacrylates was achieved by cyclization in the presence of a diphosphine ligated CuH catalyst. A convenient route for the asymmetric formal synthesis of the psychoactive compound (−)-Indatraline is also presented
