Summary:Over thirty years ago, James and Young reported the first enantioselective olefin hydroacylation by using rhodium catalysts. This viewpoint highlights the advances in this area, including 4-pentenal cyclisations, medium-ring syntheses, and intermolecular variants. Since James and Young's seminal report on the kinetic resolution of 4-pentenals by hydroacylation, enantioselective methods have progressed to include 4-pentenal cyclisations, medium-ring syntheses, and intermolecular variants.
