Abstract
A variety of new chiral phosphoramidites was synthesised and tested in the copper-catalysed enantioselective conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclohexenone and chalcone in order to assess the structural features that are important for stereocontrol. A sterically demanding amine moiety is essential to reach high e.e.’s. Enantioselectivities for chalcones up to 89% and for cyclic enones up to 98% were found. Studies on non-linear effects with the best ligands for both cyclohexenone and chalcone showed clear non-linear effects for both cyclic and acyclic enones.
