Abstract
In the presence of cationic rhodium complexes, Si-B compounds function as equivalents of nucleophilic silicon, which is efficiently transferred onto acyclic as well as cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. [((S)-binap)Rh(cod)]ClO4 has effected an asymmetric 1,4-addition to cyclic acceptors in high enantiomeric excess.
