Abstract

Asymmetric β-Boration of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds with Chiral Rh[bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl] Catalysts. -Chiral rhodium[bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl] complexes exhibit high catalytic activity for the enantioselective β-boration of α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and amides. Cyclic enones, lactones, and β,β-disubstituted acrylates do not react under the given conditions. -(TORIBATAKE, K.; ZHOU, L.; TSURUTA, A.; NISHIYAMA*, H.; Tetrahedron 69 (2013) 17, 3551-3560, http://dx.
