S. Casson et al., PALLADIUM(0)-CATALYZED STANNYLSTANNYLATION AND SILYLSTANNYLATION OF 1-ALKOXY-1-ALKYNES AND 1-PHENYLTHIO-1-ALKYNES, Synthesis, 1994, pp. 1301-1309
1-Alkoxy-1-alkynes and 1-phenylthio-1-alkynes add Me(3)Si-SnMe(3) in t
he presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(0). Clean syn-addition is obser
ved with the Me(3)Sn group being placed exclusively alpha to the heter
oatom. The regio- and stereochemistry was confirmed by NMR spectroscop
y and X-ray analysis. 1-Alkoxy-1-alkynes also add Me(3)Sn-SnMe(3) unde
r similar conditions.
