title: Rhodium catalysed conjugate addition of a chiral alkenyltrifluoroborate salt: the enantioselective synthesis of hermitamides A and B.
abstract: The concise enantioselective synthesis of hermitamides A and B is presented utilising a rhodium catalysed conjugate addition reaction to introduce the side chain and chiral information in a single step via an alkenyltrifluoroborate salt.
