Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) A new efficient method for the synthesis of geometrically pure (E)-alkenes from (Z)-alkenes is described. The reaction of aryl- or alkyl-substituted (Z)-alkenes with tributyltin hydride and triethylamine in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium acetate afforded the corresponding (E)-alkenes in good yields.
