A precomplex of a chiral α,β-unsaturated ester and a bulky aluminum oxide is crucial to setting the diastereoselectivity in the 1,4-addition of a Grignard or organolithium reagent. This approach based on chiral recognition broadens the potential of the strategies relying on stoichiometric reagents.
