Certain functionalised vinyl bromides can similarly be lithiated the Z-enol ether 121 gives 122, which is stable up to -30 °C without elimination.105 121105 and 124106 are readily transmetallated, while the F-enol ether 123105 is preferentially lithiated a to oxygen and will not undergo transmetallation. 

Mori started with the early introduction of the chiral centre [298] in using (3-oxidation of pentanoic acid A by the yeast, Candida rugosa, IFO 0750 [299]. The obtained (R)-3-hydroxypentanoic acid B was transformed into C in a few conventional steps. The second building block was prepared from methyl 2-pentynoate D conjugate addition of lithium dimethyl cuprate yielded E, which was further converted into the frans-configured vinyl bromide F. Hydro-boration of C yielded G which upon Suzuki s palladium catalysed cross-coupling with F furnished 157 after treatment of the reaction product with hydrochloric acid followed by chromatographic purification. The synthesis of ent-157 used (S)-3-hydroxypentanoic acid. 

Bromine and chlorine react with vinylsilanes to afford vinyl bromide and chloride with net inversion of configuration. Addition of these halogens proceeds with anti stereochemistry. Elimination of halo-silane in the presence of a nucleophile like F or RO also is assumed to take place in an anti manner (Scheme 16). The same transformation using iodine is applicable only to 1,2-dialkylvinylsilanes. The process is a reliable method for the preparation of vinyl halides of defined configuration. The reactions are not, overall, reductions, and they are included here only to emphasize the usefulness of the products of hydrosilylation. 

Ellman utilized the Suzuki coupling twice between a support-bound vinyl bromide and an alkyl 9-BBN derivative in a solid-phase synthesis of E- and F-series prostaglandins. The Suzuki reaction was performed in situ, with the hydroboration of a terminal olefin being followed by the palladium-mediated step. This sequence is attractive in library synthesis because of the wide range of suitable commercially available alkenes. The inspiration behind this chemistry was the solution-phase work of Johnson and Braun, where the couplings of 35 with 2-iodo-4-(silyloxy)cyclopent-2-enone 36 went well at room temperature with PdCljCdppO-AsPhj as catalyst (Scheme 41). The modular chemistry demonstrated in this paper was clearly amenable to adaptation to a solid-phase strategy.

The enantioselective total synthesis of the manzamine alkaloid ircinal A was completed in the laboratory of S.F. Martin utilizing a novel strategy. A domino Stille/Diels-Alder reaction was used to assemble the ABC ring core of the natural product. The vinyl bromide intermediate reacted with vinyl tributylstannane in the presence of Pd to afford the 1,3-diene moiety, which cyclized via an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give the ABC core.

The letter Y will be used to denote a halogen atom, since the more commonly used letter X has already been used in describing the conformations. VF, VC and VB denote vinyl fluoride, vinyl chloride and vinyl bromide, respectively. In addition to PVDC and VDC/VC copolymers, PVDF and VDF/VF copolymers (Y=F), and PVDB and VDB/VB copolymers (PVDB denotes that Y=Br) will also be studied. Such a study of the entire isoelectronic series (Y=F, Cl and Br) can provide a more complete understanding of the effects determining the barriers of VDC/VC copolymers. 

Table IV compares the reactivity ratios of a soft (PhS-) to a hard (MeO-) nucleophile in vinylic substitution. PhS is always more reactive, and ratios lower than unity, as for 4, X = Br (4), are certainly due to elimination-addition with MeO . The ratios change by >2000-fold and are sensitive to the geometry of the substrate. An important feature is that for (3-halo-p-nitrostyrenes the ratio decreases strongly with the increased hardness of the (3-halogen (38). The lowest ratios are for the (3-fluoro derivative, whereas the differences between the chloro and bromo compounds are not so large. This behavior is similar to that in SNAr reactions. This behavior can be rationalized by symbiotic effects, which favor the soft-soft PhS--Br interaction and the hard-hard MeO-F interaction. A reactivity-selectivity relationship for vinyl bromides of different electrophilicities does not exist.

A study of the intermolecular vinylation of azoles (pyrrole, carbazole, and indoles) and phenothiazines was published by I. P. Beletskaya and co-workers.116 This vinylation is catalyzed by Pd(f-Bu)3P and utilizes the lithium amide of various azoles. Various vinyl bromides efficiently undergo the cross-coupling with full retention of their configuration (E or Z). 

For the reaction of OH radicals with vinyl chloride and vinyl bromide the halogen elimination reactions are thermo-chemlcally favorable, the overall reactions being <11 kcal mole and <24 kcal mole exothermic for X = Cl and Br, respectively (203). The elimination of Br atoms from activated chloro-bromoalkyl radicals (206, 207), and of H, Cl, or Br atoms from activated fluoroalkyl radicals (208-213), have been studied using molecular beam techniques, these Intermediate radicals being produced by the reaction of Cl atoms with bromlnated alkenes (206, 207) or of F atoms with alkenes and halogen-substituted alkenes (208-213). For the elimination of Br atoms In the reactions...
