Access to Chiral Tertiary α-Hydroxyesters via Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Allylation of α-Ketoesters.

Molecules containing a tertiary α-hydroxy carbonyl moiety are vital building blocks for synthesizing pharmaceuticals and natural products. In this study, we present an efficient rhodium(I)-catalyzed enantioselective allylation of α-ketoesters, provid…
