The conjugate addition reaction of terminal alkynes to C=C bond can be catalyzed
by copper in water. The reaction only proceeds with derivatives of Meldrum's acids in
the presence of Cu(I) produced by Cu(OAc)
2
and sodium ascorbate in water, and a large
excess amount of phenylacetylyne. Combined with chiral ligand
L - 10
, enantioselective
versions of this addition reaction can be achieved to 82-97% ee of products with useful
yields [27] (Scheme 1.23 ).
