A Cu-catalyzed enantioselective hydroamination of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives was achieved through ligand-controlled reversal of the hydrocupration regioselectivity. While the hydrocupration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to form α-cuprated species has been extensively investigated, we report herein that, in the presence of an appropriate ancillary chiral ligand, the opposite regiochemistry can be observed for cinnamic acid derivatives, ...[more]
