NICKEL-CATALYZED CROSS-COUPLING OF SILYL ENOL ETHERS WITH GRIGNARD REAGENTS. REGIO- AND STEREOCONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF OLEFINS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(80)80215-2

The substitution of the siloxy group in silyl enol ethers with Grignard reagents to form olefins is accomplished by use of nickel acetylacetonate or phosphine-nickel complexes as catalysts, the stereo- and regiochemistry of coupled olefins depending upon the nature of the catalyst and reaction conditions employed.
