Abstract
An easy access to (Z)-trisubstituted allylic alcohols is based on E to Z isomerization of 1-bromo-1-dialkylvinylboranes upon reaction with dialkylzinc reagents. Subsequent transmetalation to give (Z)-trisubstituted vinylzinc species is followed by trapping with aldehydes to furnish a series of (Z)-trisubstituted allylic alcohols.
