Palladium-catalysed asymmetric anti-Michael-type addition of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with carboranes
Nature Catalysis, Published online: 30 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-026-01480-4The catalytic asymmetric Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is one of the most valuable methods for the construction of β-carbon chiral centres. Now the authors report a Pd-catalysed asymmetric anti-Michael-type addition of carboranes to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
