Continuous Carbon Chiral Center Synthesis

��Quick access to starting materials

��Reactivity: overcoming the steric bulk

��Selectivity: facile synthesis of all 4 enantiomersUnsolved Problem

Lucas, E. L.; Jarvo, E. R. Nat. Rev. Chem. 2017, 1, 65.

��Stereospecific or Stereoconvergent?

Chiral Metal CatalysisM

M = Li, Mg, Zn, B, Sn

Br+ Stereoconvergent?

No asymmetric reportNo access to all 4 enantiomers
