Congrats to Guangli Xu et al. for the latest publication in Science China Chemistry. We have developed a dirhodium(II)/(S)-MeO-BIPHEP catalytic system for the challenging asymmetric β-alkenylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. A couple of drug-derived substrates were also compatible with the protocol, which has been successfully used to prepare biologically relevant pyranochromene compounds.
