Asymmetric Conjugate Addition Reactions with Chiral Amidocuprates: The Effect of Cu(I) Salts and Coordinating Heteroatoms

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)97554-3

Chiral amidocuprates with methyl or n-butyl transferable ligands containing additional heteroatoms afforded higher asymmetric induction with CuBr than with CuI, although reactivity and chemical yields are generally higher with CuI.The enantiomeric excess
