Synthesis of vinylstannanes
Recent Literature

Treatment of ketones with Bu3SnLi followed by addition of MsCl/Et3N
to the resulting alkoxide provides vinylstannanes. Traces of Bu3SnH
in the crude reaction products could be removed by stirring in CHCl3
with a catalytic amount of AIBN followed by filtration through silica gel.

Palladium-catalyzed hydrostannation of substituted Z- and E-enynols
is controlled by the geometry of the double bond (Z- or syn-directing
effect) rather than the nature of its substituents. Exclusively α-vinyl
stannanes were obtained from Z-enynols having various substituents on the
double bond regardless of their electronic, steric, or chelating natures.
