REACTIONS OF 3-ALKYL- AND 3,3-DIALKYL-1-BROMOALLENES WITH ORGANOCUPRATES: EFFECTS OF THE NATURE OF THE CUPRATE REAGENT ON THE REGIO- AND STEREOSELECTIVITY

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)96867-9

Organocuprates induce 1,3- and direct substitution in 3-alkyl- and 3,3-dialkyl-1-bromo-1,2-dienes leading respectively to either terminal acetylenes or allenic hydrocarbons.The nature of the cuprate exerts a prominent role in determining both the regio- and the stereochemistry of these reactions.
