(0.090 g, 0.39 mmol), and PdCl2(MeCN)2 (0.101 g, 0.39 mmol).
After stirring for 20 h, Celite filtration, addition of NaI (0.359 g,
2.39 mmol) dissolved in acetone (20 mL), and purification gave
2b as a red solid (0.084 g, 43%).
Synthesis of 2f. According to method B, 2f was obtained
starting from 1f (0.105 g, 0.29 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL), Ag2O
(0.065 g, 0.28 mmol), and PdCl2(MeCN)2 (0.074 g, 0.29 mmol).
Stirring for 6 h, Celite filtration, and addition of NaI (0.260 g,
1.73 mmol) dissolved in acetone (25 mL) were followed by
evaporation of volatiles and extraction (0.091 g, 53% yield).

was obtained. This mixture was washed with MeCN, and the
residue was dried in vacuo, thus giving 3a (0.091 g, 26%) as an
analytically pure cis/trans mixture (1:2.5 ratio).
