Abstract
Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of prochiral vinyl boronates occurs in an enantioselective fashion in the presence of the chiral ligand Walphos 1. This transformation provides access to chiral secondary organoboronates that are not available from alkene hydroboration reactions. The chiral reaction products should be useful in organic synthesis, and preliminary experiments suggest that they may participate in one-pot amination and homologation reactions.
