title: Asymmetric synthesis of functionalized carbocycles and heterocycles.
abstract: Anions of 1-halo-4-hexenyl phosphonamides derived from chiral, enantiopure C2 symmetrical 1,2-diamino cyclohexane react at the gamma-position in conjugate addition reactions with alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as cyclopentenone, 4-(H)-furanone, pyrroline-2-one, and cinnamates to give functionalized adducts. Addition to imines is also possible. The adducts can be transformed into enantiopure or enriched carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds bearing useable functionality.
