The stereospecific allylation of vinylstannanes with allylic halides proceeded in the presence of copper(I) iodide in DMSO-THF at room temperature. The stereospecificity of the reaction was dependent on the structures of vinylstannanes and allylic halides, and also the leaving group of allylic halides employed. Concerning the regioselectivity regarding allylic system, higher α-regioselection was observed in the reactions of allylic chlorides than in those of the corresponding iodides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
