Organic group-transfer reactions from halides and triflates to carbonyl compounds are a useful CÀC bond-forming transformation. An example is the chromium-mediated Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi (NHK) reaction,[1] whose utility has been demonstrated by numerous applications to total syntheses of complex natural products and biologically active compounds.[2] The requirement for stoichiometric amounts of toxic chromium salts—a major drawback of this reaction—has been overcome by the use of a catalytic redox system developed by Fürstner and Shi.[3] This fundamental achievement allowed for extension to a catalytic enantioselective variant of the NHK reaction.[4] Despite the great advantages of the catalytic system compared to the original stoichiometric system, the requirements for stoichiometric amounts of Mn0 and TMSCl still conflicts with principles of modern, environmentally benign synthetic organic chemistry.[5] A catalytic asymmetric NHK-type (or Grignard/Barbier-type) reaction without the use of stoichiometric amounts of metals is therefore in high demand.In 2000, Yamamoto and co-workers reported a unique racemic reaction that would potentially satisfy the above demand; a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular aryl-transfer reaction from aryl iodides and bromides to ketones using a primary alcohol as the stoichiometric reductant.[6] A catalytic asymmetric variant of this synthetically useful reaction, with minimal use of metals, has yet to be developed. Combined with our ongoing interest in the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles with an arylic tetrasubstituted carbon center,[7–12] we began a project to develop a catalytic enantioselective intramolecular arylation reaction of α-keto anilides by modifying Yamamoto s original protocol.[13] The products of this reaction are versatile chiral synthetic
