Abstract

Abstract Image

Complexing catalytic amounts of CuH with a nonracemic JOSIPHOS or SEGPHOS ligand, together with stoichiometric PMHS, leads to exceedingly efficient and highly enantioselective 1,4-reductions of β,β-disubstituted enoates and lactones. An unprecedented substrate-to-ligand ratio of 7700:1 for this type of reaction is documented.
