Both 2E- and 2Z-3-iodoacrolein O-methyl oximes are prepared in two steps fr
om ethyl propiolate. Lithium-iodine exchange is effected and the resulting
organolithium reagents added to several electrophiles, including styryl iso
cyanate which gives a conjugated O-methyl oxime enamide of the type found i
n the side chains of the oximidine, lobatamide and CJ-12950 natural product
s. The Pd(0) catalysed cross-coupling of these iodoalkenes is also explored
