ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Functionalization of Inactive sp3 C-H Bonds Remote to Functional Group by Metal/Organo Cooperative Catalysis.

The method serves for the [4 + 2]-cyclization of aliphatic enolizable aldehydes with quinone derivatives in the presence of molecular oxygen as oxidant and a prolinol-derived chiral catalyst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
