Significance

Herein, new ligands for less-explored conjugated addition of organoalu­minum reagents are described. Carbohydrate phosphite-oxazoline and -phosphoroamidite ligands are shown to be very efficient ligands for Cu-catalyzed addition of alkylaluminum nucleophiles to cyclic and acyclic enones.
