title: Kinetic resolution of hindered Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts by Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition/β-hydroxyelimination.
abstract: A kinetic resolution of hindered Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts has been successfully achieved in excellent selectivities via Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition/β-hydroxyelimination with the use of a chiral sulfinamide/olefin hybrid ligand. This study provides a novel and efficient access to both optically active hindered highly functionalized alkenes and Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts.
