Significance

The first carbobismuthination of ­alkynes has been accomplished by the reaction of an alkyne, BiBr3, and a ketene silyl acetal to produce an alkenylbismuth compound with high stereo- and regioselectivity. The Br2Bi group in the ­alkenylbismuth compounds can be substituted by I, Ts and SPh groups, and palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings with acid chlorides have been performed successfully.

Comment

The reaction of BiBr3 with a phenylacetylene derivative and a ketene silyl acetal gives monoalkenylbismuth dibromide as a white solid. X-ray crystallographic analysis of this product reveals that the carbobismuthination takes place regio- and stereoselectively in an anti-addition manner.
