Addition of allyl halides to the organolithium species derived from lithiation of N ‐ tert ‐butoxycarbonylindoline with sec ‐butyllithium ( sec ‐BuLi) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) occurs regioselectively by S N 2 allylation. In contrast, the organolithium species can be transmetalated to the mixed zinc cuprate that undergoes regioselective S N 2′ allylations. Transmetalation to the organozinc chloride allows a Negishi‐type cross‐coupling reaction with aryl bromides using palladium catalysis with triphenylphosphine (PPh 3 ) as ligand. The chemistry was applied to a very short synthesis of 7‐prenylindole and of the alkaloid vasconine.
