title: Intramolecular conjugate addition of alkenyl and aryl functions to enones initiated by lithium-iodine exchange.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. Treatment of each of the substrates 20-26, 29, and 46-48 with t-BuLi in THF, in the presence of HMPA and TMSCl, provides good-to-excellent yields of the intramolecular conjugate addition products 30-36, 37, and 49-51, respectively.
