Reaction of Organocuprates<br />
Substitution of allylic halides<br />
• Alkylation of allylic halides with organocuprates usually<br />
produces mixtures of products due to competing S N 2 and S N 2’<br />
reactions.<br />
• Substitution with complete allylic rearrangement (S N 2 reaction)<br />
is observed with R<strong>Cu</strong>·BF 3 as the alkylating agent.
