B allenic copper species have been invoked as intermediates. 8 One additionally revealing pair of substrates shown in eq 2 are benzyl bromide and piperonyl bromide: as a truly extraordinary result, benzyl bromide failed to undergo pyrone transfer from 3-cuprio-2-pyrone (1) even at 25 C for a prolonged time (12 h), but piperonyl bromide did react at 25 C to produce a substitution product. This result would seem to support an SN1 pattern of reactivity. In exploring the SN2-SN1 scale of substrate reactivity toward organocopper reagent I, we have found that SN2-reactive substrates (Scheme II) such as methyl iodide, ethyl bromoacetate, and heteroallylic chlorides or even iodides 4 and 5 completely failed to undergo substitution by a pyrone group. Likewise, primary homoallylic tosylate 6, benzyl mesylate (7), and ethylene oxide in excess also did not undergo pyronetransfer from 3-cuprio-2-pyrone (1) even under forcing conditions. Normally potent acyl electrophiles (Scheme III) also failed to incorporate the pyrone group from organocopper species l; 9 even excess benzoyl chloride, which is converted easily and cleanly into ketones by many different organocopper reagents, 10 was not transformedinto 3-benzoyl-2-pyrone. To our great surprise, all of the typically SNl-reactive electrophiles in Scheme IV also did not react with cupriopyrone 1. The failure of the substrates in Schemes II-IV to undergo pyrone transfer from cupriopyrone 1 is a dramatic and unambiguous indication of the extraordinary nature of this organocopper species!
