Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric 1,6-Addition of (Triisopropylsilyl)-acetylene to α,β,γ,δ-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Asymmetric addition of (triisopropylsilyl)acetylene to α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds took place in the presence of a cobalt/Duphos catalyst to give the 1,6-addition products in high yields with high regio- and enantioselectivity.
