Abstract

A protocol for the stereocontrolled synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-β,γ-unsaturated esters and amides is reported. 2-Chloroacetates as well as secondary and tertiary 2-chloroacetamides were successfully employed as electrophiles in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with potassium (E)- and (Z)-alkenyltrifluoroborates, affording the corresponding products in high yield.
