A highly enantioselective synthesis of α-alkylated and -arylated ketones can be achieved by using a reaction sequence consisting of a stereoselective anti-SN2′ allylic substitution in the presence of CuCN·2LiCl following by the oxidation of an intermediate cycloalkenyl lithium species using (Me3SiO)2 or (MeO) 3B/NaBO3·4H2O. (Chemical Equation Presented).
