Abstract

Strategies for controlling absolute stereochemistry at a site β to an electrophilic center, in particular a ketone, usually rely on organometallic-based Michael additions (Scheme 1, path A).[1] Processes that are catalytic in both the transition metal (M) and the associated nonracemic ligand (L*) are most desirable, and outstanding progress continues to be made with several different Michael donors [1, 2] and acceptors.[1, 3] Acyclic enones have ...
