Abstract

The CrCl2-mediated condensation of aldehydes 1 with a variety of functionalized 1,1,1-trichlorides 2 affords trisubstituted chloroolefins 4 in excellent yields and generally high Z-stereoselectivity. The intermediate dichlorohydrin adducts 3 can be isolated in good yields under conditions of limited reagent and reduced temperature.
