Abstract

Abstract Image

A new ligand for Cu-catalyzed enantioselective additions of dialkylzincs to cyclic enones has been developed. In addition to providing good to excellent enantioselectivities with a range of cyclic enones and dialkylzincs, the ligand has several notworthy features:  it can be readily prepared in just two steps, is an air-stable crystalline solid, and provides optimal performance at ambient temperature.
