The
potential of using chiral bicyclic NHC ligands that exhibit
modularity was investigated in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric borylation
reaction of α,β-unsaturated esters. After screening for
ligands and optimization of the reaction conditions, the corresponding
products were afforded with good enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
