Rhodium-catalyzed formation of stereocontrolled trisubstituted alkenes from Baylis-Hillman adducts
We report here efficient and general conditions for the formation of stereodefined trisubstituted alkenes using the rhodium-catalyzed reaction of unactivated Baylis-Hillman adducts with either organoboronic acids and potassium trifluoro(organo)borates. Th
