An enantioselective carbonyl-ene reaction of glyoxylate esters with 1,1-disubstituted alkenes catalyzed by chiral cationic dirhodium(II,III) carboxamidates is described. The paddlewheel dirhodium(II,III) carboxamidates having one open coordination site at each rhodium smoothly catalyze the carbonyl-ene reaction to afford homoallylic alcohol products in good isolated yields with high enantioselectivities.
