Ar egio-and enantioselective copper-catalyzed 1,4-conjugate addition of trimethylaluminium to linear d-aryl-substituted a,b,g,d-unsaturated alkyl ketones was developed. As erieso fg,d-unsaturated alkyl ketones were obtained in good yields with high regio-ande nantioselectivity (up to 88% ee and 96:4 dr). Expansion of the reactions cope to substrates containinga romatich eterocycles also afforded good yields ande nantioselectivities( up to 91% ee)w ith very high regioselectivities, exclusivelyp roviding the single 1,4-products.Scheme 2. Expansion of the reaction scopef or aromatic heterocycles.T he reactions of 1o-r (0.200 mmol) with AlMe 3 (1.2 equiv.) were performed at À30 8 8Cf or 12 hi nt he presence of the chiral complex formed in situ from Cu(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O (0.005 mmol, 2.5 mol%) and L6 (0.010 mmol,5 .0 mol%).Scheme 3.
