“…The inherent polarity of transition metal hydride (TMH) selectively renders a selective α-metalation of electron-deficient olefins via metal hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) or 1,4 addition, − eventually forging functionalization at that position to allow α-C–H, C–C, C–O, or C–N bond formation (Scheme b) . In stark contrast, achieving a regioisomeric β-metal insertion through olefin hydrometalation is exceedingly rare. − Indeed, to the best of our knowledge, there are only two examples of asymmetric β-amination of β-aryl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds via CuH catalysis using electrophilic aminating reagents. , Buchwald et al employed 1,2-benzisoxazole and revealed that the choice of chiral ligands is critical for the control of regioselectivity .…”
