Abstract

A new addition-carbocyclization cascade reaction initiated by arylboronic acids and catalyzed by a rhodium/chiral diene complex is described. Starting from N-bridged oxoenoate derivatives, highly functionalized piperidines bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers were obtained with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities.
