Stereoselective Synthesis of (E)-3,3-Diaryl and (E)-3-Aryl-3-aryloxy Allylamines and Allylalcohols from trans-CinnamylChloride and Alcohol. -Vinyl bromides (I) are used as substrates in cross-coupling reactions furnishing arylated products (III) and (V) in good to excellent yields and complete retention of the (E)-configuration. -(LIMBERGER, J.; CLAUDINO, T.
