title: Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate additions of boronic acids using monodentate phosphoramidite ligands.
abstract: Monodentate phosphoramidites have been used for the first time as chiral ligands in the Rh-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to enones, unsaturated esters, lactones, and nitro alkenes. High reaction rates and ee's up to 89% have been obtained.
