The role of the double bond geometry (E/Z stereochemistry) in reactions of crotylstannanes with aldehydes has been examined for representative ''simple'', alpha-alkoxy, and beta-alkoxy aldehydes. For the reaction of crotylstannane with simple achiral aliphatic, aromatic, or alpha,beta unsaturated aldehydes mediated by BF3.Et(2)O, use of the E crotylstannane gives much enhanced syn selectivity over that obtained with Z (e.g., 43:1 vs 4:1 with benzaldehyde). A synclinal transition state in which the CH(2)SnBu(3) group is gauche to oxygen is proposed to explain these results. For alpha-alkoxy aldehydes, use of the E stannane with MgBr2 gives the highest syn selectivity, while the Z stannane gives slightly better stereoselectivity with beta-alkoxy substrates. In contrast, the use of TiCl4 gives anti products preferentially from the E stannane and either alpha or beta-alkoxy substrates.
