dimethylphenylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride result in highly regioselective dehydrohalogenation. The reaction does not follow the conventional E2 elimination mechanism but includes beta-hydride elimination from the corresponding alkylcobalt intermediate. The interesting reaction mechanism of the cobalt-catalyzed dehydrohalogenation offered unique transformations that are otherwise difficult to attain.

This paper describes highly efficient allyl cross-coupling reactions of allylindiums with organic electrophiles such as aryl and vinyl triflates, vinyl halides, dibromoolefin, and alkynyl iodide. The reactions were carried out using 4 mol % Pd(PPh3)4 in the presence of 3 equiv of LiCl in DMF at 100 degrees C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Allylindium, generated from the reaction of 1 equiv of indium
The details of the first nickel-catalyzed olefination of cyclic dithioacetals to form substituted styrenes and aryl-substituted 1,4-pentadienes are described. The reaction represents a new synthetic use of the dithioacetal functionality. Only nickel complexes catalyzed these cross-coupling reactions; palladium complexes displayed no catalytic activity under the reaction conditions employed. Selective coupling occurred. A mechanism for the reaction is proposed. The experimental evidence indicates that, in these nickel-catalyzed couplings, cyclic dithioacetals are more reactive than their acyclic analogues. This increased reactivity appears to be the result of maintaining the two sulfur atoms in close proximity to each other by the use of a short chain of methylene groups.
