Abstract

Conjugate addition reactions using the simple Li [PhMe2SiCuI] reagent to a variety of α, β- unsaturated carbonyl compounds is described; dimethyl sulfide from the purification of CuI plays a key role for very high yields as well as high stereoselectivities in the formation of β- silyl carbonyl compounds.
