Summary on Grant Application Form
This programme will investigate the properties of new kinds of organocuprate reagents containing ligands that are simultaneously able to stabilise copper (I) and the Lewis acid counter cation associated with a generalised cuprate M[RNTCuRT] (M = counter cation, Li, Mg, Al, etc; RNT = non-transferable group, SAr, PR2; RT = transferable organo function). Bidentate ligands of the types HO-bridge-SH and HO-bridge-PHR will engender organocuprate structures midway between traditional 'low order' and so called 'higher order' cuprates. The presence of a chiral bridge will allow use of these reagents in asymmetric copper-catalysed additions of organometallics to enone systems.
