An unprecedented enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted benzoxaboroles has been developed. An <i>in situ</i> generated <i>ortho</i>-boronic acid containing chalcone provides the chiral benzoxaboroles <i>via</i> an asymmetric oxa-Michael addition of hydroxyl group attached to the boronic acid triggered by the cinchona alkaloid based chiral amino-squaramide catalysts. In general, good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99%) were obtained. The resulting benzoxaboroles we ...[more]
