Abstract The development of a method for the optimization of chiral ligands for the steric steering of enantioselective Cu-catalyzed conjugate additions of Zn-alkyls to enones is described. The method is based on combinatorial principles and solid-phase techniques. It includes the combinatorial synthesis of chiral bispidine-derived ligands embodying a phosphoramidite group on the solid phase and their investigation in immobilized form in ...
