17. Typical procedure. Preparation of ethyl 5-phenyl-6-heptenoate (10). To a cooled (−30°C) solution of CuBr·SMe2
(4.11 mg, 0.02 mmol) and ligand 1i (68.2 mg, 0.20 mmol) in THF (5 mL) is added the diorganozinc 8 (2.40 mmol)
in THF and cinnamyl chloride (0.31 g, 2.00 mmol) simultaneously over a period of 3 h. After usual work up, the
crude residue is purified by chromatography (silica gel, pentane). Evaporation of the solvents furnishes product
1
0 (232 mg, 1.00 mmol, 50% yield, 50% ee) as a colorless oil.
