An efficient asymmetric hydroesterfication of diarylmethyl carbinols is developed for the first time with a Pd-WingPhos catalyst, resulting in a series of chiral 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarins in excellent enantioselectivities and good yields. The method features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, use of easily accessible starting materials, and low palladium loadings. A plausible stereochemical model is also proposed with the Pd-WingPhos catalyst. This method has enabled a 4-step asymmetric synthesis of (R)-tolterodine from readily available starting materials.
Chiral Inductive Diastereoconvergent Allylation Reactions of Allyltrimethylsilane and Diastereomixtures of Diarylmethanols Catalyzed by FeCl3

We report the chiral-auxiliary-controlled diastereoconvergent allylation reactions of allyltrimethylsilane with diastereomeric mixtures of diarylmethanols in the presence of FeCl3 as a Lewis acid catalyst. This reaction was successfully applied to a variety of substrates; it proceeded irrespective of the substituent on the aromatic ring of the substrate. The present method was used as the key step in synthesizing (R)-tolterodine.
Coumarins from free ortho -hydroxy cinnamates by Heck-Matsuda arylations: A scalable total synthesis of (R)-tolterodine

Free ortho-hydroxy cinnamate ester derivatives are evaluated in the synthesis of structurally diverse 4-aryl-coumarins via a tandem Heck-Matsuda cyclization reaction. Free phenolic groups were considered incompatible with such a reaction, which usually provide the corresponding diazo dyes. A concise and scalable route employing a ligand-free, Pd-catalyzed Heck-Matsuda arylation under aerobic conditions for the preparation of (R)-Tolterodine in high overall yield and ee is also presented.
