title: Simple chiral chain dienes as ligands for Rh(I)-catalyzed conjugated additions.
abstract: This paper describes that a simple and readily available chain diene (3R,4R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol (L1) was successfully utilized as a novel steering ligand for Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric conjugated additions. Encouraging yields and ee's have been achieved, which may provide a new and practical direction for designing chiral diene ligands in the future.
