23. When we started our studies only one example was described of such a transformation in which the 1,4-addition of phenylboronic acid to methyl α-acetamidoacrylate catalyzed by a rhodium complex chelated with a binol-based diphosphonite chiral ligand furnished the phenylalanine derivative in 77% ee on protonation with water, but using excess NaF as an additive: M. T. Reetz, D. Moulin, A. Gosberg, Org. Lett. 2001, 3, 4083-4085.
24. During the refereeing process a related reaction was published using aryl boronic acids as organometallic partners and water as the proton source with ee values ranging from 37 to 72%: C. J. Chapman, K. J. Wadsworth, C. G. Frost, J. Organomet. Chem. 2003, 680, 206-211.
