Over and over again : Various alkenes underwent the title reaction in the presence of rhodium/bis(diazaphospholane) complexes to give γ‐chiral α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl products (46–96 % yield) with high enantioselectivity (90–99 % ee ). Iterative sequences of the reaction lead to stereoselective CC bond formations between achiral reactants to produce products having multiple stereocenters (see scheme, acac=acetylacetonate).
