Abstract

A silver-catalyzed trans addition of carboxylic acids to ynol ethers delivers a broad range of (Z)-α-alkoxy enol esters in good yields with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. A subsequent Ni-catalyzed selective coupling of alkenyl C-OPiv bonds of (Z)-α-alkoxy enol esters with boronic acids enables a convenient route to (E)-enol ethers.
