Cu-catalyzed AAA reactions employing racemic cyclicallylic bromide and extremely reactive organolithium reagents as reaction partners have been disclosed. The corresponding alkylated products were obtained with high enantioselectivities (up to 98 % ee).

The copper-catalyzedasymmetricallylicalkylation (AAA) is of great interest in organic synthesis. This reaction was extensively studied using a broad range of substrates, ligands and organometallic reagents. However, the use of racemic substrates was still limited. Although some processes of kinetic resolution are reported in the literature, no examples of quantitative deracemization are described
