Recent Literature
A microwave synthesis of 1,4-pentadienes has been developed involving the
palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of potassium vinyltrifluoroborates with
allyl acetates.

An enhanced Lewis acid system of InCl3 and Me3SiBr can be used to promote a
wide range of direct coupling reactions between alcohols and silyl nucleophiles
in non-halogenated solvents. Highly chemoselective allylations toward a hydroxyl
moiety over ketone and acetoxy ones have been demonstrated.

A mild, cobalt-catalyzed 1,4-hydrovinylation of acyclic 1,3-dienes with
various functionalized terminal alkenes is described. Unsymmetrical
1,3-dienes yield products, where the new carbon-carbon bond is formed at the
less substituted end of the 1,3-diene.

Use of copper(I) tert-butoxide and allylic halides enables the
substitution of the silyl group in vinylsilanes by an allylic group. This
synthetic application of a 1,3 Csp2-to-O silyl migration provides a
useful method for the generation of vinyl anion equivalents.

On exposure to BuLi, 3-bromo-2-iodocyclopent-2-enol O-TBS ether
undergoes iodine-lithium permutation with complete regioselectivity.
Reaction with different electrophiles affords the corresponding
2-substituted-3-bromocyclopentenol derivatives. Subsequent bromo-lithium
exchange with t-BuLi, followed by reaction with an equal or different
electrophile, affords 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentenols.
