Abstract
CuI and trans-N,N'-dimethylcyclohexyldiamine catalyze the single-step C-O bond cross-coupling between 1,2-di- and trisubstituted vinylic halides with functionalized alcohols, producing acyclic vinylic ethers. This stereospecific transformation selectively gives each of the (E)- and (Z)-vinylic ether products from the corresponding vinyl halide precursors. This method is compatible with carbohydrate-derived primary and secondary alcohols and several other functional groups. The conditions are mild enough to reliably generate vinylic allylic ethers without promoting Claisen rearrangements.
