Scope of the α-reaction with varying R group.a

a Reaction was performed with 0.2 mmol 5, 0.4 mmol aldehyde, and 50 mol % Cu(OTf)2 at 0 ºC and allowed the temp raise to room temp with overnight stirring. b Isolated yields after column chromatography; dr ratio (α/β) was determined by the proton NMR of crude products.
