F. Bonadies et al., LANTHANIDES IN ORGANIC-SYNTHESIS - EU-CATALYZED MICHAEL ADDITION OF 1,3-DICARBONYL COMPOUNDS(3), Tetrahedron letters, 34(47), 1993, pp. 7649-7650
EuCl3 proves to be an efficient catalyst for Michael addition of 1,3-d
icarbonyl compounds. The employment of Eu+3 chiral complex [Eu(tfc)3]
allows the formation of Michael adducts in enantioselective way.
