Palladium-catalyzed three component condensation of norbornene, 2-iodophenol and carbon monoxide (1 atm.) affords two regioisomers according to the sequence of insertions (carbon monoxide and norbornene) into the arylpalladium initial complex. The distribution of products can be controlled upon variation of the phosphine ligand, the temperature and the concentration of reagents. Low enantioselectivities (up to 26%ee) in both products have been recorded through the use of chiral phosphine ligands.
