Conditions: 1-phenylnon-5-yn-1-one (1a, 0.2 mmol), B(C6F5)3 (10 mol%), 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine (20 mol%), ZnI2 (10 mol%), bis-oxazoline ligand (11 mol%), CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL), under N2, 22 °C, 12 h.
Yield was determined by 1H NMR analysis of unpurified reaction mixtures with mesitylene as the internal standard. The er values were determined by HPLC analysis of the purified product.
