Abstract The asymmetric bromohydroxylation of 2-aryl-2-propen-1-ols catalyzed by quinine- derived bifunctional catalyst has been developed. The regioselectivity was controlled by employing a boronate ester as tether which was formed in situ and enantioselectivity was introduced by taking advantage of a quinine-derived bifunctional catalyst which activated the boronate ester and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) at the same time. Chiral bromohydrin, ...
