In the presence of TMSI copper acetylides react with cyclic {alpha},{beta}-enones, some s-trans enones and also to {alpha},{beta}-unsaturated aldehydes to give {gamma},{delta}-acetylenic ketones via the silyl enol ethers. Conjugate addition of alkyl and alkenyl copper reagents is a very useful method for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. However, the conjugate addition of alkynyl copper compounds has so far remained a difficult task. Other methods based on organometallic reagents derived from aluminium, boron, and zinc have been reported. This is the first example of conjugate addition with copper acetylides to {alpha},{beta}-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
