Enantioselective construction of stereogenic quaternary centres via Rh-catalyzed asymmetric addition of alkenylboronic acids to alpha,beta-unsaturated pyridylsulfones
The highly enantioselective construction of all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centres via Rh-catalyzed Chiraphos-mediated conjugate addition of alkenylboronic acids to beta,beta-disubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated 2-pyridylsulfones is described.
