Process for the preparation of enantiomerically enriched compounds with Formula Ar-C(R1)-C(R2)-Z wherein Ar represents an optionally substituted (hetero)aryl group, R1 and R2, each independently, represent H, an alkyl, (hetero)aryl, dialkylamino, amido, thioether, alkoxy or aryloxy group with t he proviso that not both R1 and R2 represent H, or R1 and R2 form together with the C-atoms to which they are bound a (hetero)alkyl or (hetero) alkenyl ring and Z represents an electron withdrawing group, in which process a boronic acid derivate of Formula Ar-B(OR3)OR4 or its anhydride, wherein Ar is as described above and R3 and R4, each independently, represent H or an alkyl group, is reacted with an olefinic unsaturated compound with Formula R2 - C = C - (R1)Z, wherein R1, R2 and Z are as described above, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst comprising a transition metal chosen from Cu and group VIII of the Periodic Table and an enantiomerically enriched ligand L, having the Formula (I) where Cn together with the two O-atoms and the P-atom forms a substituted or non-substituted ring with 2-6 C-atoms, R5 and R6 each independently stand for H, an optionally substituted alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, o r aralkyl group, or represent the group with Formula (II) wherein Cn1 may have the same meanings asgiven for Cn and B represents a bridging group, or R5 an d R6 may form a heterocyclic ring together with the N-atom to which they are bound.
