Abstract
Highly site-selective Mukaiyama-Michael additions of silyl ketene imines to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones are described. The combination of silicon tetrachloride and a chiral bisphosphoramide provides an effective catalyst system for promoting the addition of silyl ketene imines to a variety of aromatic enals with high site selectivity and moderate to good diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
Key words

18For example, the observed selectivity could result from a single catalyst-enone complex if reaction through an achiral pathway was competitive with the catalyzed addition to form only one of the diastereomers.
