G. Prie et al., A STEREOSELECTIVE ACCESS TO FUNCTIONAL DIENES CONTAINING A TRIFLUOROMETHYL GROUP VIA STILLE CROSS-COUPLING OF ETHYL 4,4,4-TRIFLUORO-3-IODOBUTENOATE, Synlett, (8), 1998, pp. 839
Stereoselective construction of 3-trifluoromethyl conjugated dienoates
or enynoates was achieved from ethyl (Z)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-iodobuteno
ate and alkenyltin or alkynyltin reagents through the Stille reaction.
Reduction of ethyl 3-trifluoromethyldienoates using DIBAL-H selective
ly afforded allylic alcohols.
