Catalytic Asymmetric Reactions of Ketimines and Alkenes via [2 + 2] Cycloaddition: Chemical Reactivity Controlled by Switching a Heteroatom

Azetidine units are commonly found in natural products and biologically active drugs. The [2 + 2] cycloaddition of imines and alkenes has been extensively used in the synthesis of such structures, while enantioselective approaches remain elusive. Herein, an efficient B(C
