Enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes using chiral spiro monophosphite ligands.
[reaction: see text] Highly efficient rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes has been realized by using chiral spiro monophosphite ligands, affording diarylmethanols in excellent yields and good enantiomeric excesses.
