Description Enantioselective conjugate additions of in situ generated 2-alkoxycarbonyl-3(2H)-furanones to three distinct types of pi-electrophiles (terminal alkynones, alpha-bromo enones, and alpha-benzyl nitroalkenes) are reported. Catalysis by a nickel(II)-diamine complex provided alkynone-derived adducts with high enantioselectivity, preferentially as the Z-isomers, and completely suppressed the undesired O-allcylation pathway. A cupreidine-based catalyst enabled extension of the enantioselective conjugate additions to alpha-bromo enones and alpha-benzyl nitroalkenes. The densely functionalized adducts that result are useful precursors to synthetic analogs of spirocyclic natural products pseurotins.
