The conjugate reduction of cinnamates with hydrosilane and chiral Rh(Phebox-ip) catalyst in the presence of excess acetone is shown to provide the corresponding intermolecular reductive aldol product in extremely high enantioselectivity (up to 98%). Several cinnamates and crotonate substrates and several ketone acceptors were also examined.
