The copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation has shown through many examples that it is a powerful means to generate stereogenic centers with mono β- and γ-substituted olefinic substrates. However, little has been reported about more substituted olefinic patterns, such as β-disubstituted allylic electrophiles. In this paper, we show that a simple procedure using easily accessible Grignard reagents and as low as 3 mol% of copper/ligand can promote high to nearly perfect enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) with very good γ-selectivities on a wide panel of aliphatic or aromatic β-disubstituted substrates.
