C 1 -Symmetric Monosubstituted Chiral Diene Ligands in Asymmetric Rhodium-Catalyzed 1,4-Addition Reactions
Résumé
One trumps two: Monosubstituted chiral bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene ligands, derived from carvone, form complexes with rhodium to catalyze the asymmetric addition of boronic acid substrates to α,β-unsaturated ketones. The 1,4-adducts are produced in good yield and high enantioselectivity.
