Significance

The authors reported the asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition of dialkylzinc to acyclic dienones catalyzed by copper/phosphinoazomethinylate salt (DiPPAM). After the isomerization of the conjugate adducts, stereoselective sequential 1,4-conjugate addition of diethylzinc was also demonstrated.

Comment

The control of regioselectivity of the 1,6-conjugate addition is difficult due to many parameters. Using copper and the DiPPAM ligand, a highly enantio- and regioselective 1,6-conjugate addition was achieved. With the BINAP ligand, unprecedented highly stereoselective induction is noteworthy.
