Vinyl Esters and Vinyl Sulfonates as Green Alternatives to Vinyl Bromide for the Synthesis of Monosubstituted Alkenes via Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Reactions

Abstract

This review summarizes the applications of vinyl sulfonate and vinyl acetate as green alternatives for vinyl bromide in cross-coupling reactions. In the first part, the preparation of vinyl sulfonates and their cross-coupling reactions are briefly discussed. Then, a brief review of vinyl acetate cross-coupling reactions, including cyclization reactions, the Fujiware–Moritani reaction, and transvinylation reactions are described.

Organophosphates as Versatile Substrates in Organic Synthesis

“…Beyond the realm of traditional methods, techniques involving transition-metal complexes [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], electrosynthesis [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], and photochemical transformations [ 13 , 14 , 15 ] are widely used. These developments have allowed for the preparation of a wide range of compounds as well as transformations that include the formation of C–C bonds [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], and the preparation of tetrasubstituted alkenes [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. In addition to conventional starting compounds, organophosphates are increasingly utilized in organic synthesis, likely due to their availability.…”
