Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Biphenol Phosphoramidite Ligands for the Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition of Dialkyl zincs
Alexandre Alexakis,Stephane Rosset,Janik Allamand,Sebastien March,Frédéric Guillen,Cyril Benhaim +5 more
TL;DR: Phosphoramidite ligands, based on a chiral amine and atropoisomerically flexible biphenols, induce high enantioselectivities in the copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc reagents to a variety of Michael acceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biphenol-based phosphoramidite ligands for the enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of diethylzinc.
TL;DR: Phosphoramidite ligands, based on ortho-substituted biphenols and a chiral amine, induce high enantioselectivities (ee's up to 99%) in the copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to a variety of Michael acceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-pot asymmetric conjugate addition-trapping of zinc enolates by activated electrophiles.
TL;DR: The copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc leads to homochiral zinc enolates were trapped in situ with activated allylic electrophiles, without the need of additional palladium catalysis, and excellent enantioselectivities could be attained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Addition on Macrocyclic and Acyclic Enones. Synthesis of R-(-)-Muscone
Alexandre Alexakis,Cyril Benhaim,Xavier Fournioux,Alexandra van den Heuvel,Jean-Marc Lévêque,Sebastien March,Stephane Rosset +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the asymmetric conjugate addition of diethyl zinc to acyclic enones is described, with 1% Cu(OTf)2 and 2% of a chiral phosphite ligand, the catalyst allowed ee's up to 92'% to be obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tandem Enantioselective Conjugate Addition−Cyclopropanation. Application to Natural Products Synthesis
TL;DR: A tandem asymmetric conjugate addition-cyclopropanation was developed, in which a cyclic or linear enone was converted to a TMS-protected 3-substituted-cycloptropanol in an efficient one-pot reaction.
