To establish allylic substitution of secondary allylic alcohol derivatives with alkynyl copper reagents, allylic esters bearing the (2-pyridine)CO2-, (2-pyrazine)CO2-, (EtO)(2)PO2-, C6F5CO2-, o-(Ph2P)-C6H4CO2-, MeOCO2-, or AcO-group were examined. First, picolinate (R-1 = Me, R-2 = CH2OPMB) was subjected to reaction with (TMS-C C)(2)CuLi center dot LiBr at 0 degrees C. Although no substitution took place, MgBr, (3 equiv) was found to promote the reaction to produce the anti S(N)2' product in 93% yield with 94% regioselectivity and 99% chirality transfer. In contrast, substitution of the other esters with the copper reagent in the presence of MgBr, were less reactive ((2-pyrazin)CO2-) or marginally reactive (other cases). Generality of the substitution using picolinates was established with five picolinates (R-1 = Me, Ph(CH2)(2), PMBO(CH2)(3); R-2 = Me, CH2OPMB, CH2OTBS, C5H11, c-C6H11) and seven alkynyl copper reagents (R-3 = TMS, Ph, p-TBSOC6H4, p- and o-MeOC6H4, P-MeC6H4, p-FC6H4), furnishing anti S(N)2' products in 61-93% yields with high regioselectivity (usually > 90%) and high chirality transfer (usually > 95%). In addition, transformation of the products was briefly studied.
