Abstract

Complete control of the face of attack in the addition of stannylmetal reagents to γ-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated esters can be achieved by using the appropriate counterion (see scheme). The stereochemistry of addition does not depend on the configuration of the C-C double bond, although the stereoselectivity is consistently better with the Z stereoisomer, for which 100% Si attack is obtained with Li as counterion and 100% Re attack with LiZnEt.
