[formula: see text] The zinc enolates, resulting from the copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc reagents to cyclic and acyclic enones, could be trapped, quantitatively, as silyl enol ethers with TMSOTf in apolar solvents or with TMSCI and NEt3.

[reaction: see text] The enantioselective catalytic 1,4-addition to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketimines is an unprecedented process. Herein, we document the copper-catalyzed addition of dialkylzinc reagents to (2-pyridylsulfonyl)imines of chalcones. This process occurs rapidly in the presence of a chiral phosphoramidite ligand to
In collaboration with DSM, we are pleased to offer a range of MonoPhos™ ligands for the research market.† Feringa and co-workers have invented a diverse array of these chiral, monodentate phosphoramidites based on the privileged BINOL platform.
A diverse array of these chiral, monodentate phosphoramidites based on the privileged BINOL platform. The MonoPhos™ family has exhibited high levels of enantiocontrol in synthetic transformations ranging from metal-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions of organometallic reagents to allylic alkylations to desymmetrization of meso-cycloalkene oxides.
