The palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of 1-propenyltributyltin wit
h functionalized styryl bromides is described. 1,3-Dienes are obtained
in low to moderate yields except with beta,beta-dibromostyrene. The l
atter undergoes a novel organotin-promoted dehydrobromination-coupling
sequence to give a 1,3-enyne as final product.
