Abstract

A direct cobalt-catalyzed vinylation of various aromatic halides using β-halostyrene proceeded smoothly with a total retention of the double bond configuration in the presence of triphenylphosphine as ligand. This procedure offers a new route to the stereoselective synthesis of functionalized stilbenes.
