19. These reactions have been reported only with highly electron-deficient olefins, which are generally incompatible with catalyst 1: S. Randl, S. J. Connon, S. Blechert, Chem. Commun. 2001, 1796-1797.
20. Interestingly, using the more active 2 and methyl vinyl ketone, both selective CM at the side-chain terminal olefin and bis-CM functionalisation were possible in good yields (> 65%) using either 1.2 or 4 equivalents of the CM partner, respectively; to our knowledge the latter is the first example of a butadiene moiety participating in a catalytic CM reaction.
