Abstract Alkenylaluminums undergo asymmetric copper-catalyzed conjugate addition (ACA) to β-substituted enones allowing the formation of stereogenic all-carbon quaternary centers. Phosphinamine–copper complexes proved to be particularly active and selective compared with phosphoramidite ligands. After extensive optimization, high enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee) were obtained for the addition of alkenylalanes to β-substituted enones. Two strategies for the generation of the requisite alkenylaluminums were explored allowing for the introduction of aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkenyl nucleophiles. Moreover, alkyl-substituted phosphinamine (SimplePhos) ligands were identified for the first time as highly efficient ligands for the Cu-catalyzed ACA.
