Direct Site‐Specific and Highly Enantioselective γ‐Functionalization of Linear α,β‐Unsaturated Ketones: Bifunctional Catalytic Strategy

α, β, γ : The title method employs a Mg/ L catalyst, which is well suited for the selective γ deprotonation and activation of linear α,β‐unsaturated ketones for reaction with nitroalkenes. The reaction leads to a series of optically active cyclohexene ring systems bearing multiple functional groups, systems which are not easily accessible using other methodologies.
