Cuprate additions to 5-methoxy-2-cyclopentenone have been found to proceed with moderate to extremely high diastereofacial selectivity, depending upon the specific cuprate and reaction protocol employed.Comparisons with related 5-substitued cyclopentenones suggest that the observed selectivity is not simply steric in nature, but instead reflects a novel stereoelectronic effect.
