ChemInform Abstract
The new title reaction allows a one-step synthesis of optically active substituted 2-oxoglutarates with fair to excellent enantioselectivities. The reaction is completely regioselective for styrene, whereas with aliphatic olefins 2 regioisomers (VI) and (VII) are formed in ratios of ≅1:2 and ≅1:1, respectively.
