Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate alkynylation of nitroalkenes?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2010-08-18 DOI: 10.1039/C0CC02181D

Abstract

Asymmetric addition of (triisopropylsilyl)acetylene to nitroalkenes took place in the presence of a rhodium/chiral bisphosphine catalyst to give β-alkynylated nitroalkanes in high yields with high enantioselectivity.
