The enantioselective hydroarylation of vinylarenes RCH=CH2 (R = C6H5, 4-FC6H4, 2-naphthyl, etc.) catalyzed by a chiral, non-racemic nickel catalyst is presented as a facile method to generate chiral 1,1-diarylethanes (R)/(S)-RCH(CH3)R1 (R1 = C6H5, 4-CH3OC6H4, 2-naphthyl, etc.). These reactions proceed via formation of a chiral, non-racemic nickel benzyl intermediate. Transmetalation with arylboron nucleophiles and subsequent reductive elimination enable the formation of a variety of chiral 1,1-diarylethanes. The 1,1-diarylethane products from reactions of arylboronic acids R1B(OH)2 containing electron-donating substituents are formed with typically greater than 90% ee, while the 1,1-diarylethanes generated from reactions of arylboronic acids containing electron-withdrawing groups are generated with typically less than 80% ee. These results are consistent with the rate of transmetalation with an arylboron nucleophile playing a key role in the enantioselectivity of these hydroarylation reactions. This mechanistic insight has led to the development of reactions of neo-pentylglycolate esters like 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid neopentylglycol ester, 4-uorophenylboronic acid neopentylglycol ester and 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid neopentylglycol ester of arylboronic acids with vinylarenes that occur with higher enantioselectivities based on increased rates of transmetalation.
