title: Enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to trifluoromethyl ketones.
abstract: The catalytic asymmetric 1,2-addition of a series of arylboronic acids to 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenones is described with high isolated yields (up to 96%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 83% ee) using a rhodium(I)/phosphoramidite catalyst.
