CC coupling: DiPPAM 1 and BINAP 2 ligands led to divergent behaviors in the asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) of dialkylzinc reagents to linear aryldienones, which were applied to the development of a highly selective sequential asymmetric 1,6/1,4-ACA process (see scheme; Tf = triflate, DBU = 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene).
