✦ Synopsis
An asymmetric nickel-chromium coupling strategy has been employed in the generation of enantioenriched Baylis-Hillman adducts with selectivities reaching >90% ee and in fair to moderate yields (up to 65%) using a chiral sulfonamide ligand. The reaction conditions appear to show reasonable generality and are compatible with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. Utilizing such a strategy not only allows for the preparation of products which contain substitution at the b-position on the olefin but also allows for the separation of olefin isomers in this transformation.

In this Letter, we describe an easy and straightforward strategy for the preparation of acyloins (a-hydroxyketones) from Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts, based on a Curtius rearrangement. Different acyloins were obtained with good overall yield (>40% for three steps). To exemplify the synthetic useful
