Copper(I)-Mediated Regio- and Stereoselective Allylic Substitutions and Their Applications to Natural Product Syntheses

This work focused on the copper(I)-mediated stereoselective
anti-allylic substitution reactions using organozinc reagents and
chiral cyclic phosphates or pentafluorobenzoates. The applications
of this method to the preparation of natural products were also
reported.
