The lithium anion of 2-ethylidene-1,3-dithianeshows regioselectivity (entries 1, 3, 6) for 1,4-v substitution. The v/a ratio of the 1,2 products has not been determined. A significant reversal of selectivity is observed by using 3 equiv. of HMPA (entries 5 and 8) or the cuprous salt of the anion (entries 2 and 4), generated by addition of CuI'(Me0)3P to the lithium anion, providing the 1,4-a product as the dominant isomer. When the conjugate addition of entry 2 was conducted at -78°C for 0.25 h and then quenched with methanol at -78'C, the 1,4-a product was obtained along with unreacted cyclohexenone, indicating, in this
