Procedure
To a slurry of (Z)-methyl 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-(2,2-dimethylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)acrylate (5000 mg, 14311 μmol) in 30 mL of MeOH was added [(1S,1S′,2R,2R′) Rh(duanphos)cod]BF4 (101.1 mg, 143.1 μmol) followed by an additional 15 mL of methanol. The mixture was purged with hydrogen 3 times and then sealed at 50 psi of H2. After 3 hours reaction the reaction was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography to provide (S)-methyl 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-(2,2-dimethylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)propanoate (5000 mg, 99.43% yield) as a colorless oil.
