Treatment of secondary allylic chlorides or allylic phosphates in tetrahydrofuran with prenyl Grignard reagent in the presence of CuCN · 2 LiCl gave geraniol or farnesol derivatives with high SN2′ selectivity. Phosphate leaving groups were highly trans-stereoselective for the formation of (E,E)-farnesol derivatives. Furthermore, complete anti-SN2′ selectivity was observed in the alkylation of optically active allylic phosphates. The present method appears to be an excellent carbon-carbon coupling reaction with high regio-, (E)-, and enantioselectivity. Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone 10) was efficiently synthesized using this methodology.
