✦ Synopsis
Efficient Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to ethyl-c-phthalimidocrotonate by using bis-sulfoxide ligand affords c-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivatives with high enantioselectivities (90-96% ee) under mild conditions. Optically pure (S)-Baclofen and (S)-Rolipram have been prepared successfully through this synthetic route.

## Abstract Rhodium fluoroapatite (RhFAP) is an efficient catalyst for conjugate addition of organoboron reagents to __α__,__β__‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds. A variety of arylboronic acids and __α__,__β__‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds were converted to the corresponding conjugate‐addition produ
