Easily prepared alkenylalanates proved to be excellent nucleophiles for the creation of highly congested quaternary centers via copper-catalyzed conjugate addition. In addition, functionalized cis-decaline systems can now be prepared in a simple two-step sequence involving Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition with functionalized alkenylalanates.
