Palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are described for enantio
pure axially chiral vinylic bromides with arylzinc reagents leading to
new compounds with axial chirality. In addition, transfers of axial t
o central chirality are described. Both reactions exhibit full retenti
on of enantiomeric purity. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights r
