Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of methyl (Z)-2,3-bis(tributylstannyl)butenoate with aryl iodides is regioselective, leading to 2-aryl-3-stannylated products; this selectivity is the opposite to that observed in the reaction between halides and 3,4-bis(stannyl)furan-2(5H)-one. Since the resulting butenoates can be converted into the corresponding furanones, the method provides useful flexibility in the preparation of functionalized butenoates and furanones.

Representative Experimental Procedure.
To a flame-dried flask (under an argon atmosphere) charged with methyl (Z)-4-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)-2,3-bis(tri-butylstannyl)but-2-enoate (3, 300 mg, 0.38 mmol) was added dry, deoxygenated THF (3.0 mL), PdCl2 (PPh3)2
(2 mol%), CuI (8 mol%) and AsPh3. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 50 °C and 4-iodotoluene (101 mg, 0.38 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe, as a solution in THF (2.0 mL). After 18 h, the mixture was allowed to cool, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Column chromatography on silica gel (eluent 80:20 PE-Et2O) gave 4b as a colorless oil (128 mg, 58%); R
