The first general method for Z-selective olefination of acylsilanes via ynolate anions providing multisubstituted alkenes

Abstract

We have developed the first general method for a stereoselective olefination of acylsilanes via ynolate anions to produce (Z)-beta-silyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated ester, which leads to tri- and tetrasubstituted alkenes.
