Enantioselective Functionalizations of Alkenes Using Chiral Phosphoric Acids

Abstract

New organocatalytic enantioselective reactions were developed, focusing on using new modes of reactivity with chiral phosphoric acids. Prochiral alkenes and styrenes were explored as substrates for various transformations, including enyne cycloisomerization, hydroamination, halocyclization, and fluorination. The enantioenriched chiral products generated by these methods include heterocycles and allylic fluorides.
