57. During the preparation of this manuscript, Liao et al. published a closely related paper using a sulfoxide-phosphine ligand (published online Aug. 28, 2015): Lou, Y.; Cao, P.; Jia, T.; Zhang, Y.; Wang, M.; Liao, J. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 12134. 10.1002/anie.201505926 We have observed similar enantioselectivities using a commercially available ligand and running the reaction at room temperature. In addition, our catalytic system can overcome some of the structural limitations found in the excellent work by Liao.
