Conditions for the formation of the serine-derived organozinc reagent 1 in THF, together with transmetallation to the zinc-copper reagent 2, are described. Reactions of these reagents with substituted propargyl tosylates, an acetylenic bromide, and substituted bromocyanopyridines gave the corresponding protected amino acids.
