Abstract

Chiral phosphoric acids catalyze an enantioselective addition of bi(cyclopentyl)diol-derived boronates to aldehydes to provide homoallylic, propargylic, and crotylic alcohols with high enantiomeric excess and diastereomeric ratios. A wide substrate scope was exhibited, and the novel boronates provided high enantiocontrol.
