The first copper-catalyzed direct β-functionalization of saturatedketones is reported. This protocol enables diverse ketones to couple with a wide range of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon nucleophiles in generally good yields under operationally simple conditions. The detailed mechanistic studies including kinetic studies, KIE measurements, identification of reaction intermediates, EPR and UV-visible
Mannich bases react thermally with ketones to give 1,5-diketones by what appears to be a Michael reaction. In some cases the orientation of the product differs significantly from that observed in the Michael reaction, and Mannich bases lacking a hydrogen β to the N atom are able to react via an intermediate migration.
