Palladium-catalyzed Heck and carbonylation reactions of a dinaphthaleneiodonium salt formin functionalized 2-iodo-1,1′-binaphthyls

The Heck-type olefination and carbonylation of a binaphthaleneiodonium salt 1 in the presence of a palladium catalyst gave high yields of the corresponding 2-iodo-2'-functionalized-1,1'-binaphthyls with high selectivity.
