Abstract

An enantioselective, rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to β-silyl α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds has been developed employing (R,R)-Bn-bod* as a ligand, which allows the synthesis of various β-silyl 1,4-adducts in very high enantiomeric excess. Subsequent conversions of the chiral organosilicon compounds to β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds or allylsilanes under retention of the configuration of the stereogenic center are described.
