Predicted outcomes : The addition reaction of organoboronic acids with aldehydes in the presence of K 2 CO 3 catalyzed by CoI 2 /( R , R )‐BDPP gives chiral secondary alcohols in excellent yields with 90–99 % enantiomeric excess (see scheme; ( R , R )‐BDPP=(2 R ,4 R )‐(+)‐2,4‐bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane). This method provides an alternative to prepare an R and S enantiomeric pair by using the same chiral ligand and allows the stereochemical outcome of the reaction to be predicted.
