Abstract: | A systematic study on the effect of additives on the isomerizability of 1-alkoxycarbonyl alkenylcopper(I) intermediates revealed that the lithium chelator 12-crown-4 is significantly more efficient than HMPA at retarding isomerization. On the other hand, 12-crown-4 alone is unable to promote effective coupling with alkyl halides. The combination of 12-crown-4 and a reduced amount of HMPA, however, led to an improved procedure for the preparation of useful, isomerically pure tetrasubstituted alkenes such as allylation reagents and skipped dienes. |
