Palladium-catalyzed substitution of cyclohex-2-en-1-yl ethyl carbonate with neutral C-, O-, and N-nucleophiles was achieved in 1 - 2 minutes using microwave flash heating. Enantioselectivities up to 96% were observed. Ionic nucleophiles tended to result in lower ee. With S-nucleophiles problems with the stability of the nucleophile were encountered.
