Asymmetric styrene dimerisation using mixed palladium–indium catalysts

Catalysts formed in situ from mixtures of palladium acetate, indium(III) triflate and a chiral non-chelating bis(phosphite) ligand give good to excellent conversions and reasonable enantioselectivity in the asymmetric dimerisation of styrenes. Graphical Abstract
