revealed that the intermediate copper‐thioamide enolate functioned as a Brønsted base to generate copper alkynylide from the terminal alkyne, thus driving the catalytic cycle through an efficient proton transfer between substrates. These findings led to the identification of a more convenient catalyst using potassium hexamethyldisilazane (KHMDS) as the Brønsted base, which was particularly effective for
Directcatalyticasymmetricconjugateaddition of thiolactams to α,β-unsaturatedthioamides was efficiently promoted by a soft Lewis acid/hard Brønsted base cooperative catalyst in a highly stereocontrolled manner. Thioamide functionality was crucial to promote both the efficient enolization of thiolactam pronucleophiles and the subsequent stereoselective conjugateaddition to α,β-unsaturated thioamides
from commercially available reagents to afford the desired product in high enantioselectivity. The reaction was compatible with a free amino group, thus allowing for expeditiousaccess to enantiomerically enriched 1,5‐benzothiazepines, which are important chemical entities in medicinal chemistry.
Catalyticasymmetricconjugateaddition of nitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated thioamides is promoted by a mesitylcopper/(R)-DTBM-Segphos precatalyst, affording γ-nitrothioamides in moderate to high syn-selectivity and excellent enantioselectivity. The intermediate Cu-thioamide enolate functions as a soft Lewis acid/hard Brønsted base cooperative catalyst to drive the catalytic cycle efficiently under
