Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging tetrasubstituted fluorinated enamides has been achieved, affording chiral α-fluoro-β-amino esters in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield, >99 : 1 dr, up to >99% ee). Deuterium-labeling experiments and control experiments were conducted to probe the mechanism, and the results indicated that the acidity of the solvent plays a critical role in the control of diastereoselectivity by trapping the addu ...[more]
