A loading of 10 mol% of catalyst 1 and p-toluenesulphonic acid as an additive was employed in this reaction, and good yields (up to 99%) with high anti/syn diastereoselectivities (up to 95 : 5) and enantioselectivities (up to &amp;gt;99.9%) were achieved in aqueous media.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.84</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
