Abstract
The picolinoxy group was found to be an extremely powerful leaving group for allylic substitution with aryl nucleophiles derived from ArMgBr and CuBr*Me2S. The substitution proceeds with anti SN2' pathway and with high chirality transfer. The electron-withdrawing effect of the pyridyl group and chelation to MgBr2 are likely the origin of success. Results suggesting these effects were obtained.Entities:
