For 10 points, name this reaction which adds a carbanion to an alpha-beta unsaturated carbonyl compound, named for its American formulator.
A report released in 2004 suggests that P-BEMP is a recyclable organocatalyst for this reaction. A titanium tetrachloride catalyst and silyl ether are involved in a variant of this reaction also named for Mukaiyama. Chiral phase transfer catalysis using compounds from cinchona alkaloids is one method for expanding the scope of asymmetric forms of this reaction, whose (*) donors are usually beta-keto esters. Followed by an aldol condensation in the Robinson annulations, it ends with proton abstraction by the enolate.
