Abstract

There are many readily available methods for the preparation of enantiopure carbonyl compounds containing a-and bchiral centers. However, the selective functionalization of the g position has been met with more difficulties and less progress. Asymmetric vinylogous aldol reactions,[1] Michael [2] reactions, and phosphine-catalyzed nucleophilic addition to alkynes and allenes [Eq.(1)][3] are some of the successful attempts made to address this ...
