Carried out with 1b (0.1 mmol) and 2x (1.5 equiv.) in the presence of Cs2CO3 (2 equiv.) in methanol (0.6 mL); isolated yields; dr was determined by 1H NMR; ee of the major trans diastereomer was determined by chiral HPLC.
Performed on 1.0 mmol scale.
Absolute configuration was determined by X-ray as (1S, 2S).
5 mol % [Co(P3)].
