3- Pentanone with styrene

The scope of the reaction is reasonably general in terms of the cyclic ketones that could be used, but an acyclic substrate such as 3-pentanone led to a lower enantioselectivity. Besides ethylene, other olefinic partners such as propene and styrene also took part in the reaction. Addition to propene occurred with a lower yield and the adduct incorporating an isopropyl group was obtained, indicating that the addition took place regioselectively...
