title: Enantioselective conjugate addition of boronic acids to enones catalyzed by O-monoacyltartaric acids.
abstract: We have found that O-monoacyltartaric acids catalyze asymmetric conjugate addition of boronic acids to enones with good enantioselectivity, and the 3,5-di(tert-butyl)benzoyl group provides the best results among the acyl groups examined.
