Abstract
Our work on sequential cross-coupling reactions has shown that 1-bromo-2-phenylthioethenes 1 and 2 represent very useful building blocks for the construction of stereodefined 1,2-disubstituted ethenes.1 The methodology is based upon the selective substitution of the halogen atom in the first step by reaction with Grignard reagents in the presence of Ni or Pd complexes followed by the substitution of the phenylthio group. Good yields are obtained. The stereospecificity is higher than or equal to 99% in the case of E-isomers and slightly lower in the case of Z-isomers.
