Popis: The asymmetric formation of all-carbon quaternary benzylic stereocenters containing a methyl substituent was realized by the enantioselective copper-catalyzed 1,4-addition of dimethylzinc to alkylidene Meldrum's acids in the presence of a chiral phosphoramidite. Copper source and ligand optimization studies are presented, as well as the scope and limitations of dimethylzinc addition to various alkylidene Meldrum's acids. Good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities were obtained.
