Part 1. Asymmetric Heck reaction of substituted cyclopentenes gave one stereoisomer in excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The high selectivity as unprecedented in Heck reaction. (R)-Xyl-SDP(O) was uniquely effective as chiral ligand. Various aryl triflates can be used. The same catalyst...
