Amino-sugar modular ligands—useful cores for the formation of asymmetric copper 1,4-addition catalysts

Abstract

Modular phosphine ligands, synthesised rapidly from commercial N-acetylglucosamine, are very effective in copper(I)-catalysed 1,4-additions of ZnR2 to linear aliphatic enones (87–95% ee).
