M. Murata et al., STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF ENOL ACETATES BY THE REACTION OF ALKENYLBORONATES WITH (DIACETOXYIODO)BENZENE AND SODIUM-IODIDE, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (9), 1998, pp. 1465-1466
Stereochemically pure (E)- and (Z)-alk-1-en-1-yl acetates have been ea
sily prepared by acetoxylation of the (Z)- and (E)-alk-1-en-1-ylboroni
c acids or their esters, respectively, with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and
sodium iodide, in reasonable yields.
