Asymmetric catalysis plays a crucial role in the synthesis of optically active organic molecules, but its application to stereogenic-at-metal complexes is more challenging. Here, the authors report the asymmetric synthesis of stereogenic-at-iridium complexes through kinetic resolution via a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.
