Abstract

Building complex structures from simple starting materials is important for effective organic synthesis. In this context, domino reactions comprising hydrozirconation of alkenes, their subsequent utilization in a copper-catalyzed conjugate addition to enones, followed by electrophilic trapping of the formed zirconium enolates with activated alkene and carbocations are described. Reactivity of metal enolates was studied by DFT calculations.
