Significance

This work reports the development of a stereoconvergent aryl amine directed alkyl-alkyl Suzuki coupling. In this protocol, unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides serve as substrates and the desired products are generally obtained with good enantioselectivity using a C 2-symmetric 1,2-diamine ligand.
