title: Highly enantioselective intermolecular cross Rauhut-Currier reaction catalyzed by a multifunctional Lewis base catalyst.
abstract: The highly enantioselective intermolecular cross Rauhut-Currier reaction of different active olefins catalyzed by a multifunctional chiral Lewis base was reported. The RC products were obtained in excellent yields (up to 98 %), high chemo- and enantioselectivity (up to 96 % ee). The reaction could be performed on a gram scale using 1 mol % of the multifunctional phosphine catalyst.
