Hydrophobically shielded alkynes HC C-aryl, carrying 2,6-di- and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl as the aryl group, can add aqueous HBr on heating in moist chloroform solutions to produce pure H2C=C(-Br)-aryl (isolated yields 96%, no hydrolysis). Employment of DC C-aryl furnished initially only the E stereoisomer of DHC=C(-Br)-aryl (stereospecific syn addition), which was slowly both dedeuteriated and partially transformed to the Z stereoisomer by HBr. The strongly retarded HBr addition to H3C-C C-aryl in moist chloroform produced again more E than Z product, whereas a thermodynamic E/Z ratio of 10:87 was found in moist acetic acid. Substitution of Br by LiSnMe3 produced H2C=C(-SnMe3)-aryl with well resolved long range Sn-119 NMR coupling constants. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
