2-Allyl-substituted furans and thiophenes were efficiently synthesized from organostannyl derivatives as starting materials using Cu(I) as catalyst. The effect of DMF and NMP as solvents are discussed, as well as other solvent and temperature effects.

Satellite software has to deal with specific needs including high integrity and dynamic updates. In order to deal with these requirements, we propose working at a higher level of abstraction thanks to model-driven engineering. Doing so involves many technologies including model manipulation, code generation and verification. Before we can implement the approach, there is a need for further research in these areas, e.g., about meta-transformations in order to maintain several consistent related code generators. We highlight such issues in regard to the current state of the art.
