“…Metal-catalyzed conjugated addition reactions of carbon nucleophiles to α,β-unsaturated compounds are the most widely used reactions for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Much interest has recently been shown in rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] using various ligands [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ] such as biaryl bisphosphines [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ], phosphoramidites [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], diphosphonite [ 29 ], amidomonophosphines [ 30 , 31 ], N -heterocyclic carbenes [ 32 , 33 ], P-chiral phosphine [ 34 ], and dienes [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ,…”
