MgI2-accelerated enantioselective Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of cyclopentenone utilizing a chiral DMAP catalyst.
Fu's planar chiral DMAP catalyst efficiently promotes the asymmetric Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of cyclopentenone with a variety of aldehydes in the presence of MgI(2) as a cocatalyst.
