Synthesis of (Z)-1-aryl-2-(germyl)-1-(stannyl)ethenes and the related ethenes, precursors to stereodefined germylethenes, via Pd(dba)(2)-P(OCH2)(3)CEt-catalyzed germastannation of acetylenes in THF
Y. Senda et al., Synthesis of (Z)-1-aryl-2-(germyl)-1-(stannyl)ethenes and the related ethenes, precursors to stereodefined germylethenes, via Pd(dba)(2)-P(OCH2)(3)CEt-catalyzed germastannation of acetylenes in THF, J ORGMET CH, 622(1-2), 2001, pp. 302-308
(Z)-1-Aryl-2-(germyl)-1-(stannyl)ethenes are synthesized in high yields by
the addition of tributyl(triethylgermyl)stannane to arylacetylenes catalyze
d by a specific combination catalyst, Pd(dba)(2) and 4-ethyl-1-phospha-2,6,
7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, in tetrahydrofuran. Ethynylthiophene and 2-me
thyl-3-butyn-2-ol are also subject to the germastannation to afford the res
pective adducts in high yields. In addition, the J(Sn-H) and C-13-NMR data
for their adducts are presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
