New one-pot synthesis of (E)-beta-aryl vinyl halides from styrenes

Org Lett. 2009 Aug 6;11(15):3390-3. doi: 10.1021/ol901233j.

Abstract

A new, efficient protocol for the highly stereoselective one-pot synthesis of (E)-beta-aryl vinyl iodides and (E)-beta-aryl vinyl bromides from styrenes based on sequential ruthenium-catalyzed silylative coupling-N-halosuccinimide-mediated halodesilylation reactions is reported.
