✦ Synopsis
Mixed cuprates ArSCu(RMgX) add rapidly to crotonates and cinnamates to give high yields of Michael adducts. Cuprates "of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, t-butyl, phenyl and vinyl were used.
Crotonates give much higher yields of adducts with cuprates using 2-methoxythiophenoxide as a ligand than with those using thiophenoxide.
In the past three decades the conjugate addition of organocopper reagents to unsaturated ketones or esters has been widely used in the synthesis of organic compounds.3
