Abstract
TsCl coupled with NMI forms a highly reactive N-sulfonylammonium intermediate. β-Ketoesters undergo (E)-selective tosylation using TsCl-NMI-Et3N and (Z)-selective tosylation using TsCl-NMI-LiOH in good yield. Stereoretentive Negishi and Sonogashira couplings using enol tosylates proceed successfully to give trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated esters.
