Chenbo Wang @ Wipf Group 10 2/16/2008 Scope of the Reaction •Alkynes were added slowly to the reaction mixture to prevent polymerization. •Reactions proceeded with high syn-addition selectivity. •Complete regioselectivity is maintained even with t-Bu ester. •Vinylstannanes reacted with retention of configuration (except Entry 5).
