Resumo(s)
The reaction mechanism of the Cu+‐catalyzed introduction of two all‐carbon‐substituted
stereocenters in an ynamide system using a Grignard reagent, a zinc carbenoid, and an aldehyde,
was investigated using density‐functional theory. In contrast to the formation of an organocopper(I)
compound and subsequent carbocupration reaction, previously postulated as the initial step, the
reaction proved to instead proceed through an initial complexation of the substrate alkyne bond by
the Cu+‐catalyst, which primes this bond for reaction with the Grignard reagent. Subsequent
addition of the zinc carbenoid then enables the nucleophilic attack on the incoming aldehyde, which
is revealed as the rate‐limiting step. Our computations have also identified the factors governing
the regio‐ and setereoselectivity of this interesting reaction, and suggest possible paths forits further
development.
