Ft. Luo et Lc. Hsieh, STEREOSELECTIVE HYDROIODINATION OF 3-SUBSTITUTED DERIVATIVES OF PROPYNOIC ACID, Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 41(6), 1994, pp. 871-873
The hydroiodination of 3-substituted propynoic acids and their derivat
ives with sodium iodide/trimethylsilyl chloride/water in acetonitrile
at 25 degrees C gives stereoselectively (Z)-3-iodopropenoic acid deriv
atives in good yields.
