Abstract

Leveraging of 1,5-hydride shift enabled diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes, allowing for construction of consecutive vicinal stereogenic centers in a single process. The transformation is triggered by electrophilic alkylation of aryl alkenes with in-situ generated carbocations, that is followed by diastereoselective 1,5-hydride shift to the resulting benzylic carbocation through a rigid 6-membered ring chair-like transition state.
