The conjugate addition of the phenyldimethylsilyl-cuprate reagent to cinnamate and crotonate esters and amides 1 of various known chiral auxiliaries, a-e, is diastereoselective.The sense of diastereoselectivity of silyl-cuprate addition to the esters 1b-d, 8 and 9 is different from established precedent based on carbon-cuprates, but is normal for silyl-cuprate addition to the amide 1a, the imines 1e and 21, and the oxazolidine 6.The chiral auxiliary e gives the best results of those tested, and the silicon-containing group can be removed from the chiral auxiliary using alkoxide ion in aprotic media, making available β-silyl esters 27-29 of high enantiomeric excess, with recovery of the chiral auxiliary 30.
