“…Meantime, the main side product, p ‐cresol was also observed, which was presumably attributed to the direct conjugate borylation to enone and succedent β‐O elimination. Next, several chiral phosphine ligands, including ( S , S p)‐ip‐FOXAP ( L2 ), ( R )‐BINAP ( L3 ), ( R )‐P‐Phos ( L4 ) and ( R , R )‐iPr‐DuPhos ( L5 ) were subjected to this reaction, however, no promising outcomes were gave (Table , entries 2–5). To our delight, the ee value of 3 a dramatically rose up to 74%, albeit in low yield, when ( R , R )‐QuinoxP* ( L6 ) served as ligand (Table , entry 6).…”
