Copper-catalyzed allylic substitution

Organometallic chemical reaction

Copper-catalyzed allylic substitutions are chemical reactions with unique regioselectivity compared to other transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitutions such as the Tsuji-Trost reaction. They involve copper catalysts and "hard" carbon nucleophiles. The mechanism of copper-catalyzed allylic substitutions involves the coordination of copper to the olefin, oxidative addition and reductive elimination. Enantioselective versions of these reactions have been used in the synthesis of complex molecules, such as (R)-(-)-sporochnol and (S)-(-)-zearalenone.
