Determination of the relative stereochemistry of adducts resulting from the addition lithium dienolates to Michael acceptors

The addition of the lithium dienolate of ethyl crotonate to 2-cyclopentenone was studied to determine the stereochemical outcome of this Michael addition. Proof of the stereochemistry was provided via the unambiguous synthesis and comparison of ketone 73 from norcamphor 85. === Master of Science
