Despite impressive advances over the years,[1] there are still important transformations that lack catalytic asymmetric variants. While Lewis acid catalyzed additions of allylsilanes to carbonyl compounds [2] and acetals [3] have been well studied using catalytic,[4] as well as auxiliary-based methods to control absolute configuration,[5] to the best of our knowledge, there are no effective methods for catalyzing the asymmetric 1, 4-addition of allyltrimethylsilane to unsaturated carbonyl compounds.[6] In that regard, we report herein a catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of allyltrimethylsilane to various activated cyclic enones with selectivities surpassing 98% ee. The 1, 4-addition of the air-and moisture-stable nucleophile to unsaturated carbonyl compounds proceeds to> 95% conversion in the presence of Cu (OTf) 2 (10 mol%) with the commercially available di (tert-butyl) bis (oxazoline)(box) ligand (2).[7] We show how these products can be functionalized to a variety of useful enantiomerically enriched systems.Our initial studies into the development of a chiral Lewis acid catalyst indicated that simple cyclic and acyclic α, βunsaturated carbonyls (ketones and esters) did not react with a variety of metal–ligand combinations.[8] We therefore sought to activate the substrate by installation of a second electron-withdrawing/chelating group at the α-position of the enone (ie, 1). In the presence of Cu (OTf) 2 (7 mol%) and bis (oxazoline) ligand 2 (8 mol%) in Cl (CH2) 2Cl, we obtained the desired 1, 4-allyl-addition product 3 in> 95% conversion (after 30 min at 08C) and 72% ee as a mixture of keto–enol tautomers (Scheme 1). Alternative solvents (CH2Cl2, Et2O, toluene, EtOAc, etc.) and metal salts, including other copper salts, resulted in lower selectivities.[9] Other chiral ligands (eg, peptide-based,[10] salen,[11] Trost ligand [12]) led to high conversion (> 95%), but with low selectivity (< 5% ee). To identify a more effective catalyst, we prepared and screened approximately 40 mono-and bis (oxazoline) ligands. A selection of the bis (oxazoline) ligands studied are illustrated in Table 1. Phenylglycine-and phenylalanine-derived ligands (7 and 8, respectively) gave high conversions, but low
