title: "Sulfolefin": highly modular mixed S/olefin ligands for enantioselective Rh-catalyzed 1,4-addition.
abstract: Reported is a single high yielding step approximation to mixed olefin/sulfinamide ligands enclosing a chiral sulfur atom as the sole chiral center. The synthetic design is validated by a rapid optimization of the substituent at the sulfinyl sulfur, and by the synthesis of an efficient, highly enantioselective catalyst for the Rh-catalyzed 1,4-addition of boronic acids to both, cyclic and acyclic olefins.
