Spatial distancing of a substrate's reactive group and nonreactive catalyst-binding group from its pro-stereogenic element presents substantial hurdles in asymmetric catalysis. In this context, we report a desymmetrizing Suzuki-Miyaura reaction that establishes chirality at a remote quaternary carbon. The anionic, chiral catalyst exerts stereocontrol through electrostatic steering of substrates, even as the substrate's reactive group and charged catalyst-binding group become increasingly distanc ...[more]
