A highly enantioselective copper/N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed allylic arylation with organolithium compounds is presented. The use of commercial or readily prepared aryllithium reagents in the reaction with allyl bromides affords a variety of chiral diarylvinylmethanes, comprising a privileged structural motif in pharmaceuticals, in high yields with good to excellent regio- and enantioselectivities. The versatility of this new transformation is illustrated in the formal synthesis of the marketed drug tolterodine (Detrol).

Thanks to iridium catalysis, arylzinc reagents undergo regioselective allylic substitution with very high enantioselectivity, when associated with phosphoramidite ligands.
