Robotlike: Low catalyst loadings of a planar-chiral ferrocenyl bispalladacycle are sufficient to catalyze the Michael addition of trisubstituted α-cyanoacetates to enones with excellent yields (TONs up to 2450) and high enantioselectivity. The reaction proceeds by a cooperative bimetallic mechanism and is superior to previous methods relying on soft Lewis acid catalysts.
