Asymmetric conjugate addition of alkylzirconium reagents to α,β-unsaturated thioesters: access to fragrances and acyclic stereochemical arrays
Copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of alkylzirconium species to α,β-unsaturated thioesters is reported. A variety of functionalized alkyl nucleophiles were introduced with yields around 70% and ee's over 92%. The method was applied to the straightforward syntheses of the commerciall...
