Cu-catalyzed stereoselective synthesis of (<i>E</i>)-δ-silyl-<i>anti</i>-homoallylic alcohols from 1,3-dienylsilane was developed. Mechanistic studies revealed that the borocupration of dienylsilane proceeded through a 1,2-addition pathway to give an allylcopper intermediate with Cu distal to the silyl group. However, the subsequent aldehyde allylation proceeded <i>via</i> Curtin-Hammett control to give (<i>E</i>)-δ-silyl-<i>anti</i>-homoallylic alcohols with high diastereoselectivities. This me ...[more]
