Stereoselective conjugate addition of aryl- And alkenylboronic acids to acyclic γ,δ-oxygen-substituted α,β-enoates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ol7016033

The substrate-controlled Rh¹-catalyzed conjugate addition of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated esters which bear γ- and δ-oxygen substituents takes place in a highly anti diastereoselective fashion either when using γ-hydroxyl u
