vinylalane species undergo enantioselective conjugateaddition to a wide range of 2- or 3-substituted enones (cyclopent-2-enones, cyclohex-2-enones, 3-methyl cyclohept-2-enone) in the presence of catalytic amount of copper salt (copper thiophene carboxylate, [Cu(CH3CN)4]BF4 or [CuOTf]2C6H6) and tropos-phosphoramidite-based ligand. Thus, chiral quaternarycenters can be built, with up to 98% ee after rigorous
The copper-catalyzedasymmetricconjugateaddition of Grignard reagents to trisubstituted cyclic enones affords enantioenriched all-carbon quaternarycenters with up to 96% ee. The chiral ligand is a diaminocarbene, directly generated in situ. The combination of Grignard reagent and diaminocarbene is unprecedented in conjugateaddition, and the additon of the phenyl group, on such enones, cannot be
Formation of Quaternary Chiral Centers by N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Cu-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Addition Reactions with Grignard Reagents on Trisubstituted Cyclic Enones
The copper‐catalyzedconjugateaddition of Grignard reagents to 3‐substituted cyclic enones allows the formation of all‐carbon chiral quaternary centers. We demonstrate in this article that N‐heterocyclic carbenes act as efficient chiral ligands for this transformation. High enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee) could be obtained for a variety of substrates.

they can be highly functionalised. Herein we report the copper‐catalysed asymmetricconjugateaddition of diethyl zinc and trialkylaluminium reagents with SimplePhos ligands, which gives high enantioselectivity with cyclic enones, acyclic enones and nitro‐olefins, with up to 98.6 % ee. Of particular interest is the reaction of trialkylaluminium reagents with a wide range of 3‐substituted enones, thus
The asymmetric construction of quaternary carbon centers by conjugateaddition of Grignard reagents to 3-methyl- and 3-ethylcyclohexenones was realized in a maximum enantioselectivity of 80% by using a C2 symmetric chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-copper catalyst, generated from (4S,5S)-1,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate and copper(II) triflate
