D. Madec et al., SYNTHESIS OF ENYNES THROUGH CONDENSATION OF ACETYLIDES WITH VINYLCARBAMATES UNDER NICKEL(0) CATALYSIS, Synlett, (5), 1995, pp. 435-438
A new access to Z-1,3-enynes is reported through condensation of Z-vin
yl carbamates with magnesium bromide acetylides under Ni(0) catalysis.
Yields ranging from 40 to 80% as well as Z/E ratios from 75:25 to mor
e than 95:5 are obtained. A new preparation of Z-vinyl carbamates from
E-allyl carbamates is also described.
