Abstract
An unprecedented enantioselective oxetane opening with chloride provides access to a range of highly functionalized three-carbon building blocks. The excellent enantiocontrol is enabled not only by a new catalyst, but also by the unusual use of wet molecular sieves for the controlled release of HCl.Keywords
