Substitution of gamma-aryl secondary allylic picolinates with alkynyl copper reagents was studied. The copper reagent, prepared from TMSC equivalent to CMgBr and CuBr center dot Me-25 in 2:1, was subjected to substitution of the picolinate derived from (E)-3-phenyl-1-methyl-2-propenyl alcohol at 0 degrees C for 1 h in THF to produce a mixture of alpha- and gamma-products and the alcohol in 67:20:13, while the reagent in 3 or 4:1 ratio gave the alpha-product with 90-91% selectivity. On the contrary, reaction in CH2Cl2-THF (6-8:1) at 0 degrees C for 1 h furnished the alpha-product with 99% regioselectivity. The effect of CH2Cl2 was also demonstrated with eight more examples. Furthermore, 99% inversion was determined by transformation to the literature compound and by chiral H PLC. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
