An enantioselective Baylis–Hillman reaction catalyzed by chiral phosphines under atmospheric pressure

Abstract
2,2’-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1’-binaphthyl (BINAP) catalyzes the enantioselective Baylis–Hillman reaction between pyrimidine- 5-carbaldehydes and acrylates to provide chiral α-methylene β-hydroxy esters in up to 44% ee under atmospheric pressure.
