Micellar catalysis enables copper-catalyzed silylcupration of a variety of electron-deficient alkynes, thereby providing access to isomerically pure E- or Z-β-silyl-substituted carbonyl derivatives. These reactions take place in minutes, afford high yields and stereoselectivity, and are especially tolerant of functional groups present in the substrates. The aqueous reaction medium has been successfully recycled several times, and a substrate/catalyst ratio of 10,000:1 has been documented for this methodology. Fast, cheap, and green: Micellar catalysis enables the selective construction of a variety β-silyl-substituted carbonyl derivatives under mild aqueous conditions. The reaction is catalyzed by low levels of CuI, is compatible with numerous electron-withdrawing groups, affords high yields, and provides opportunities for scale-up and recycling of the reaction medium. The environmental impact, as measured by E Factors, is very low.
