title: Pinacol coupling reaction of beta-halo-alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes promoted by TiI4.
abstract: The pinacol reaction of beta-halogenated alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes was promoted by titanium tetraiodide to give coupling products in good yields with high dl-selectivity. Subsequent reduction with H(2)/Pd-C gave saturated vic-diols in good yields. Heck coupling reaction enabled the displacement of halogens with vinyl groups without the loss of stereochemical integrities. [reaction: see text]
