  1. Reaction conditions: alkene 1a (1.0 equiv, 0.10 mmol), aryl diazonium salt 2a (2.0 equiv, 0.20 mmol), arylboronic acid 3a (3.0 equiv, 0.30 mmol), [Pd] (5.0 mol %, 0.005 mmol), chiral ligand (10 mol %, 0.01 mmol), additive (16 mol %, 0.016 mmol), and Ag2CO3 (1.0 equiv, 0.10 mmol) in solvents (0.2 mL, 0.5 M) at 25 °C. The yields were determined by 1H NMR using dibromomethane as an internal standard, and the ee values were determined by chiral HPLC. aIsolated yields within the parentheses. b2.5 mol % [Pd] was used.
