Mechanism?















Provide a curved arrow mechanism.
What is the actual acceptor orbital in the case of 1,4-addition?

π*c=c-c=o it’s a conjugated <span>system</span>




This reagent gives only the 1,2-addition product


gives only the 1,2-addition product


gives only the 1,4-addition product

What are Dialkyl Cuprates?
Dialkyl cuprates are made from alkyllithiums; they yield selective 1,4-addition.
