Um. Dzhemilev et al., BU-2(I)ALCL-CP2TICL2 - A NEW REAGENT FOR HYDROALUMINATION OF DISUBSTITUTED ACETYLENES, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(11), 1996, pp. 2610-2613
A new regio- and stereoselective method for the synthesis of E-alkenyl
chloralanes based on Cp2TiCl2-catalyzed hydroalumination of disubstitu
ted acetylenes by diisobutylaluminum chloride was developed. Hydrolysi
s and deuterolysis of organoaluminum compounds lead to the correspondi
ng Z-olefins, and cross-coupling with allyl halides in the presence of
Pd(Ph3P)(4) results in the formation of cis-4,5-disubstituted 1,4-die
nes.
