Enantioselective hydroacylation of olefins with rhodium catalysts
Abstract
Over thirty years ago, James and Young reported the first enantioselective olefin hydroacylation by using rhodium catalysts. This viewpoint highlights the advances in this area, including 4-pentenal cyclisations, medium-ring syntheses, and intermolecular variants.
