Abstract
A stereoselective transformation of α-alkoxyacetoaldehydes gives the corresponding β-alkoxy vinyl triflates by treatment with phenyl triflimide and DBU. Subsequent transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions followed by [1,2]-Wittig rearrangements enable the stereoselective synthesis of structurally diverse (Z)-allylic alcohols.
