Abstract
A chiral bicyclic bridgehead phosphoramidite (briphos) is a highly efficient and selective ligand for Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated N,N-dimethyl-sulfamoyl imino esters at ambient temperature providing chiral (Z)-γ,γ-diaryl-α,β-dehydroamino esters with excellent yield and enantioselectivity, that can be further converted to unnatural amino acids, hydroxy ketones, and keto acids.
