Significance
This paper reports the first example of catalytic enantioselective vinylogous Reformatsky-type aldol addition reaction using the condition of C-C bond-forming transfer hydrogenation. The linear addition product can be formed from both alcohol and aldehyde oxidation level with equally good to excellent yields, enantio- and regioselectivities.
