Abstract
Metal-based catalysts: The title reaction provided the chiral adducts in high yields, excellent enantiomeric excess, and high Z/E selectivity. A combined NMR/DFT study revealed a key intermediate for the stereoselective reaction and a possible reaction mechanism (see the optimized transition-state structure).
