Abstract

Preparation of 1,1-dimetalated-1-alkenes was realised via metalate rearrangements in the opening of lithiodihydrofuran 6 by reaction with dilithium stannyl-, silyl-, alkyl- and aryl(cyano)cuprates and quenching with electrophilic agents. Several hetero (E)- and (Z)-1,1-dimetalated alkene derivatives were so produced in good to high yields and total stereocontrol.
