Palladium-Catalysed Coupling Reactions: (Z)-Vinyl (N,N-Diisopropyl)carbamate Group as an Efficient Precursor of a (Z)-Vinyl Triflate Function

ABSTRACT A (Z)-vinyl (diisopropyl)carbamate group, generated from a Hoppe allylation reaction, was easily transformed either into the corresponding (Z)-vinyl phosphate or (Z)-vinyl triflate function in good yield and high selectivity. It was also shown that the resulting (Z)-vinyl triflate compound could be utilized successfully in palladium-catalysed coupling reactions with vinyl-, phenyl- and acetylenic tin derivatives, without loss of the (Z)-geometry of the double bond.
