Stereoselective polysubstituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butane synthesis by rhodium-catalyzed kinetic resolution.
Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are a distinctive class of strained small-ring carbocycles of growing importance in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. However, the enantioselective synthesis of polysubstituted BCBs remains a largely unsolved challenge. Herein, we report a general chemical platform for the stereoselective...
