AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR THE STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF CONJUGATED ALKENES VIA THE COPPER(I) IODIDE ASSISTED CROSS-COUPLING REACTION OF 1-ALKYNES WITH HALOALKENES
Conjugated alkenynes were prepared stereospecifically in moderate to good yields by heating haloalkenes with 1-alkynes in the presence of copper(I) iodide in hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA).
