Enantioselective strain-releasing [2π + 2σ] cycloadditions of BCBs
Ellie, Zoe, and Rodrigo report a Brønsted acid catalyzed asymmetric [2π + 2σ] cycloaddition in JACS, providing a straightforward route to rigid chiral bicycles in highly enantioenriched form. A terrific collaboration with GSK and Corteva …
