Only the mixture works! Acrylic acid derivatives with CF3 substituents in α or β position were efficiently hydrogenated in the presence of a RhI complex with a chiral secondary phosphine oxide (SPO; see scheme) and an achiral Ph3P as ligands. The corresponding propanoic acid derivatives were obtained with generally high conversion (>99 %) and high enantioselectivity (92->99 %). Copyright

Evans-type chiral lithium imide enolates undergo diastereoselective α-trifluoromethylation with a hypervalent iodine-CF3 reagent with up to 91% combined isolated yield and 97:3 dr. The resulting isolated diastereopure products can be further transformed into valuable products without racemization.
