Enantioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed C-H functionalizations of ketene aminal phosphates provide isoindoline scaffolds with high enantioselectivity at ambient temperature. The high level of enantiocontrol is enabled by a tailored monodentate electron-rich phosphine ligand featuring a point chiral phospholane module and a bulky atropchiral binaphthyl backbone.
