Zinc homologation-elimination reaction of α-sulfinyl carbanions as a new route to olefins

α-Lithiosulfinyl carbanions react either intermolecularly, after transmetalation into an organocopper derivative in an SN2-type process, with zinc carbenoids, or intramolecularly by higher-order zincates through a tandem zinc homologation-β-elimination reaction into the corresponding alkenes. α,α- and α,β-Disubstituted alkenes can also be produced through these two methodologies.

Copper-Mediated and -Catalyzed o-DPPB-Directed Allylic Substitution

Complete control of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity in the course of copper-catalyzed and -mediated allylic substitution could be obtained with me ortho-diphenylphosphanyl (o-DPPB) function as a reagent-directing leaving group. Complete chirality transfer by way of a syn-addition process has been achieved for cyclic and acyclic systems. Readily available Grignard reagents may be employed as nucleophiles and the directing o-DPPB group can be recovered quantitatively. The reaction requires neither cooling nor an excess of organometallic reagent.
