In summary, we have developed an efficient and stereose-
lective one-pot method for the synthesis of (E)-α,β-unsaturated
ketones by the tandem hydrostannylation-Stille coupling reac-
tion of alkylarylacetylenes with acyl chlorides. The present
method has the advantages of readily available starting
materials, straightforward and simple procedures, mild reac-
tion conditions and good yields. The procedure should find
wide application to the synthesis of a large array of naturally
occurring substances having the (E)-α,β-unsaturated ketone
system.
