title: Copper-catalyzed anti-stereocontrolled ring-opening of azabicyclic alkenes with Grignard reagents.
abstract: [Reaction: see text] The anti-stereocontrolled alkylative ring-opening reaction of azabicyclic alkenes is reported. N-(2-Pyridyl)sulfonyl azabenzonorbornadiene reacts with Grignard reagents in the presence of catalytic amounts of CuCN to afford, in good yields and excellent anti selectivity, the corresponding dihydronaphthalene-1-amines.
