Abstract

Chloromethylvinyl alanes (E)-ClMeAl(CH=CHR) prepared directly from terminal alkynes undergo 1,4-addition to cyclohexenone and 3-methylcyclohexenone in moderate to good yield (30-70%) and good to excellent stereoselectivity (80-98% ee) using readily available copper(i) sources and chiral ligands. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
