A study of copper-phosphoramidite-catalysed ZnR2 and AlR3 additions to 1,1′-dicarbonyl-activated cyclic Michael acceptors has revealed high enantioselectivities for AlR3 (R = Me, Et) 1,4-addition to a range of 3-acylcoumarins (85-98% ee, trans:cis ~90:10) using commercial or readily available ligands. Large substituents at the 6-position, and to some extent at the 5-position, of the coumarin are less well tolerated, nor is truncation of the coumarin motif to a comparable 2-acylcyclohexenone (ee values up to 78%).
