Michael addition of organometallics, particularly organocoppers1 and organozincs, 2 to R,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is a well-established method for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Over the past two decades, asymmetric versions of these reactions, particularly with copper reagents, have been developed which can be highly selective. 3, 4 However, one important limitation of organocopper reagents is that they do not efficiently transfer alkynyl groups to organic substrates (Scheme 1). 5 Since alkynyl groups may be readily manipulated into many other functionalities, 6 we were interested in filling this void by developing reactions which could stereoselectively add alkynyl groups in a Michael fashion to R,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. We now report the first examples of enantioselective conjugate additions of alkynyl groups to enones. 7 Conjugate alkynyl group transfer using achiral reagents had been achieved with alkynylboron8 and aluminum9 reagents. However, it appears that no asymmetric versions of these reactions have been reported.We reasoned that an alkynylboronate derivative of a chiral diol might be an asymmetric conjugate alkynylation reagent. 10-12 1, 1′-Bi-2-naphthol has been used as a very effective chiral auxiliary in many asymmetric transformations13 so we directed our initial efforts to prepare reagents of general structure 2 (Scheme 2). It has previously been shown14 that alkynylboronates may be pre-
