a The reactions were carried out at 2 mmol scale. The yields refer to those of isolated pure<br />

isomers. The isomeric ratios were determined from the isolated yields. NR: no reaction.<br />

While the reaction of 6 with 3 (Scheme 4, Table 3, entries 5-9) using low valent<br />

Cu yielded 7d as the major product, the Co and Fe mediated reactions produced 7c and 7d<br />

in comparable proportions. In contrast, low valent Sn mediated reaction yielded 7c as the<br />

major product. The effect of the olefin geometry on the stereoselectivity of the above<br />

allylation reactions was examined using the individual cis and trans isomers of the<br />

bromide 8. The combination of Zn/FeCl 3 provided the best results. For a given bimetallic<br />

combination, both 3,4-syn 9c and 3,4-anti 9d were produced in almost similar proportions<br />

in all the reactions, irrespective of the olefin geometry in 8. The preponderance of the 4,5-<br />

anti products in these reactions suggested that the addition followed the Felkin Anh<br />

model.<br />
