Abstract
<p class="first" id="P1">Enantioconvergent arylation reactions of boronic acids and
racemic β-stereogenic α-keto
esters have been developed. The reactions are catalyzed by a chiral (diene)Rh(I) complex
and provide a wide array of β-stereogenic tertiary aryl glycolate derivatives with
high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Racemization studies employing a
series of sterically differentiated tertiary amines suggest that the steric nature
of the amine base additive exerts a significant influence on the rate of substrate
racemization.
