title = "Lewis base catalyzed enantioselective allylic hydroxylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates with water",
abstract = "A Lewis base catalyzed allylic hydroxylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates has been developed. Various chiral MBH alcohols can be synthesized in high yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). This is the first report using water as a nucleophile in asymmetric organocatalysis. The nucleophilic role of water has been verified using 18O-labeling experiments. {\textcopyright} 2011 American Chemical Society.",
