Abstract

A Cu(I)-mediated reaction of aromatic Grignard reagents with allylic tetrahydropyranyl ethers results in formation of the coupled products in good yields. This methodology allows facile synthetic manipulation of compounds with two reactive allylic positions. Allylic tetrahydropyranyl (THce:simple-para) ethers undergo facile reaction with aryl Grignard reagents in a Cu(I)-mediated coupling. [Display omitted]
