Abstract

A copper-catalyzed deconjugative addition of silicon nucleophiles to a broad range of enyne-type α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated acceptors provides α-chiral propargylic silanes with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The method is 1,4-selective with hardly any formation of the 1,6-adduct. The double-bond geometry is shown to be critical for achieving this chemoselectivity.
