title: Highly selective cobalt-catalyzed hydrovinylation of styrene.
abstract: The hydrovinylation reaction is a codimerization of a 1,3-diene or vinyl arene and ethene with great potential for fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. For the first time, enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydrovinylations of styrene were achieved with a cobalt-based system bearing a chiral bis(phosphine)amide ligand.
