Conjugate additions of furylcuprates to α-enones. The effect of the copper precursor and of TMSCl used as additive
The addition of organocuprates to α,β-unsaturated substrates, namely E-cinamaldehyde and 2-cyclohexen-1-one, was studied in THF. The furan moiety was chosen for the heterocuprate, because the methods for the synthesis of furan derivatives are scarce and they have a strong potentiality for tandem rea...
