New methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted olefins is presented. The use of ortho-diphenylphosphanyl benzoate (o-DPPB) as a directing leaving group for copper-mediated allylic substitution with Grignard reagents allowed for the stereoselective construction of a wide range of E olefins, without the need for an adjacent electron-withdrawing group. Our modular three-step approach toward trisubstituted alkenes commenced with geminal α-methylene aldehydes. Addition of an organometallic reagent and introduction of the o-DPPB group by esterification was followed by the o-DPPB-directed copper-mediated allylic substitution with a Grignard reagent to furnish stereodefined trisubstituted olefins. Additionally, incorporation of a stereocenter from the chiral pool allowed the preparation of an enantiomerically pure olefin that bore three alkyl substituents in high E/Z selectivity.

α-Substituted β-methylallyl sulphoxides (2) and sulphones (3) undergo regio- and stereo-selective desulphurizative γ-substitution by the action of lithium dialkylcuprates in ether.The reaction provides a new method for the synthesis of trisubstituted E-ol
