A highly enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed semipinacol rearrangement of symmetric α,α-diarylallylic alcohols is disclosed. A chiral cobalt-salen catalyst generates a highly electrophilic carbocation surrogate following hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover steps. This methodology provides access to enantioenriched α-aryl ketones through invertive displacement of a cobalt(IV) complex during 1,2-aryl migration.
