title: Enantioselective synthesis of optically active 3,3-diarylpropanoates by conjugate hydrosilylation with chiral Rh-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl catalysts.
abstract: Conjugate hydrosilylation of 3,3-diarylacrylate derivatives catalyzed by chiral rhodium-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl complexes (1 mol %) at 60 °C for 2 h was investigated to prepare optically active 3,3-diarylpropanoate derivatives in high yields up to 99% yield and high enantioselectivities up to 99%.
