Chiral bis-phosphoramidites based on linked-BINOL for rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds
Cationic rhodium(l) complex prepared from Shibasaki's linked-BINOL and [Rh(nbd)(2)]BF4 catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to enones at room temperature with high enantioselectivities up to 99.8%ee.
