A small library of modular P,P ligands was screened and a potent Cu-based catalyst system was identified for highly enantioselective 1,4-additions to cyclohexenone with an unprecedented broad spectrum of Grignard reagents. Surprisingly, the highest selectivities were achieved in most cases in 2-methyl-THF, a green solvent underestimated so far.
