Abstract
The Feringa group describes the conjugate addition to acyclic dienones. This is an interesting class of compounds for which controlled single addition products are obtained in high yields. The products can be used for a moderately diastereoselective second addition or be subjected to ring-closing metathesis to generate substituted cyclopentenones. The diastereoselective second addition of the allyl moiety is likely due to stereoselective generation of the intermediary enolate.
