Asymmetric addition of arylboroxines to [small beta]-alkoxyacrylate esters proceeded in the presence of a rhodium/chiral diene complex to give [small beta]-alkoxy-[small beta]-arylcarboxylic acid esters with very high enantioselectivity.

Fc does nothing. This group specializes in chiral dienes as asymmetric spectator ligands
