(E)-Selective Alkylidenation of Aldehydes with Reagents derived from α-Acetoxy bromides, Zinc and CrCI3

Abstract
Reagents, prepared from the α-acetoxy bromides 2a-d, zinc dust and CrCl3 in THF in the presence of a donor ligand like dimethylformamide, give selectively (E)-alkenes 3a-j upon reaction with aldehydes 1a-f.
