Abstract
α-Benzyl acrylates, which are conveniently prepared from the corresponding aldehydes, can be employed as substrates in a tandem rhodiumcatalyzed conjugate addition-enantioselective protonation protocol to afford enantiomerically enriched α,α′-dibenzyl esters. The synergistic effect of enantiopure ligand and proton source was rapidly optimized with use of a microwave reactor. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
