Conjugate addition of organocuprates to γ-methyl-δ-oxy-α,β-enones. Influence of the alkoxy substituent on the diastereoselection

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(92)83121-W

The stereochemistry of the conjugate addition of cuprates to the title compounds is mainly governed by the γ-methyl group, but the alkoxy substituent also plays a role.
