a The reactions were carried out at 5 mmol scale. b Combined yields of isolated pure<br />

products. c Based on isolated yields. d no reaction.<br />

Formation of 2,3-anti 79b and 2,3-anti 79c in major amounts in all these reactions<br />

suggested that the addition of the organometallic species followed the Felkin-Anh<br />

model 112 . Moreover, the formation of both 3,4-syn 79b and 3,4-anti 79c in almost similar<br />

proportion revealed that the olefin geometry of the allylic halide does not have any bearing<br />

on the 3,4-diastereoselectivities of the reactions. Possibly, equilibrium of allylic-metal<br />

species took place, as suggested by the Zimmerman-Traxler model. 25a,113 The 1 H and 13 C<br />

NMR spectra of 79b and 79c are shown in Figs. III.1.12-Fig. III.1.15.<br />
