Copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of organometallic reagents to extended Michael acceptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) of nucleophiles onto polyenic Michael acceptors represents an attractive and powerful methodology for the synthesis of relevant chiral molecules, as it enables in a straightforward manner the sequential generation of two or more stereogenic centers. In the last decade, various chiral copper-based catalysts were evaluated in combination with different nucleophiles and Michael acceptors, and have unambiguously demonstrated their usefulness in the control of the regio- and enantioselectivity of the addition. The aim of this review is to report recent breakthroughs achieved in this challenging field.

Conjugate addition (1,4-addition) of carbon nucleophiles to a; b-unsaturated compounds is one of the most important carbon–carbon bond-forming strategies in synthetic organic chemistry [1]. The versatility of the conjugate addition is mainly due to the large variety of nucleophiles (organometallic reagents, Michael donors, other carbanions) and acceptors (a; b-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, ni...
