Abstract

[reaction: see text] The allylic substitution of sterically hindered (2-iodocycloalkyl)phosphates proceeds with complete anti S(N)2' stereoselectivity with mixed diorganozincs of the type RZnCH(2)SiMe(3) in the presence of CuCN.2LiCl. Only the group R of the copper-zinc reagent is transferred in the allylic substitution. This method was used to prepare odoriferous substances such as (R)-alpha-ionone in 97% ee and (R)-dihydro-alpha-ionone in 98% ee.
