Asymmetric -boration of ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds promoted by chiral rhodium–bisoxazolinylphenyl catalysts

Takushi Shiomi, Takahiro Adachi, Kenji Toribatake, Li Zhou and Hisao Nishiyama


Chiral rhodium–bisoxazolinylphenyl acetate complexes exhibited high catalytic activity for the -boration of ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with bis(pinacolato)diboron in the presence of sodium t-butoxide with enantioselectivity up to 97%.
