Regioselective reactions with almost no decrease in enantiomeric purity : the 5‐ exo ( 2 ) and 6‐ endo ( 3 ) cyclization products are formed from epoxide 1 on reaction with [Li 3 ZnMe 3 (SCN) 2 ] and [Li 3 Cu(CN)Me 3 ], respectively. No further reagents are needed. Halogen – metal exchange of 1 with the appropriate ate complex and subsequent intramolecular epoxide opening by the arylcuprate moiety results in the asymmetric synthesis of 2 and 3 , potential precursors of the antibiotics CC‐1065 and duocarmycin.
