By using a palladium complex generated in situ from Pd2(dba)3¡¤CHCl3 and phosphoramidite L1 and chiral squaramide OC4 as cooperative catalysts under mild conditions, the process provided multisubstituted tetrahydrofurans bearing a quaternary stereocenter in good to high yields with acceptably high enantio- and diastereoselectivities %U https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acscatal.8b03582
