VINYLIODONIUM SALTS: THEIR STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS AND REACTIONS AS THE ACTIVATED VINYL HALIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)95096-2

Vinyliodonium salts 2 were synthesized from vinylsilanes 1 by the reaction with iodosylbenzene and triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate.The reaction occurs stereospecifically with retention of configuration.Vinyliodonium salts 2 are highly effective as the activated species of vinyl iodides.Thus, a variety of substituted olefins including α-cyano and α-nitro olefins, vinyl sulfides, vinyl halides, and α,β-unsaturated esters, were prepared from 2 under mild reaction conditions.
