Re. Barrientos-astigarraga et al., Synthesis of functionalized tri- and tetrasubstituted vinylic tellurides from enolphosphates through vinylic substitution by lithium butyltellurolate, TETRAHEDR L, 40(44), 1999, pp. 7717-7720
Vinylic tellurides are precursors of important highly reactive vinylic or,o
rganometallics (e.g. vinyl Li and Cu species). Herein we report that tri- a
nd tetrasubstituted functionalized vinylic tellurides can be prepared from
enolphosphates through a vinylic substitution by lithium butyltellurolate.
Starting from mixtures of Z- and E-enolphosphates, only the Z-vinylic tellu
ride is formed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
