Abstract
Hydroboration of 1-halo-1-alkynes with dicyclohexylborane, reaction with t-BuLi, and transmetalation with dialkylzinc reagents generate (Z)-disubstituted vinylzinc intermediates. A subsequent reaction with aldehydes in the presence (-)-MIB generates (Z)-disubstituted allylic alcohols. Addition of tetraethylethylenediamine inhibits a fast, LiCl-promoted addition leading to racemic products.
