Only copper catalysts allow this transformation, along with a careful choice of primary organometallics and chiral ligand. The resulting adducts are useful intermediates for the synthesis of more complex natural products. }, number={6}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Alexakis, Alexandre and Vuagnoux-d’Augustin, Magali and Martin, David and Kehrli, Stefan and Palais, Laetitia and Hénon, Hélène and Hawner, Christine}, year={2008}, month={Jun.}, pages={461} }
