In the present study, the key secondary allylic picolinate was synthesized via Pd(PPh 3) 4 -catalyzed coupling of the TBS ether of (R, Z)-4-iodo-5-methylhex-3-en-2-ol with allyl-MgBr. Allylic substitution of the picolinate with the copper reagent derived from 3,4-(MeO) 2 C 6 H 3 MgBr and Cu(acac) 2 in a 2:1 ratio afforded the anti S N 2′ product with complete chirality transfer and 91% regioselectivity. Synthetic manipulation of the olefin moiety led to the nitrile group, generating the intermediate for the synthesis of (S)-verapamil.

A lipase-mediated synthesis of (S)- And (R)-verapamil is described. The key steps of the synthetic sequence are the enantioselective acetylation, mediated by Lipase PS, of allylic alcohol (Z)-(±)-2, affording the acetate derivative (Z,R)-(-)-3 (ee 92%) and the Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of this latter and of its enantiomer (Z,S)-(+)-3 (ee 92%) to afford acid derivatives (E,R)-(-)-4 (ee 94%) and (E,S)-(+)-4 (ee 93%), precursors of (S)- and (R)-verapamil, respectively.
