Abstract
| - SN2‘ (γ) substitutions of δ-substituted allylic acetates with Grignard reagents and copper catalystsproceed with high diastereoselectivities. With benzyloxy, methoxymethoxy, and tert-butyldimethylsiloxy groups, reactions favor the anti-isomer with selectivities up to anti:syn = >99:1. With ahydroxyl group, selectivities are reversed and the syn-isomer is favored with selectivities up toanti:syn = <1:99.
