Significant enhancement of the Stille reaction with a new combination of reagents-copper(I) iodide with cesium fluoride.
The combination of copper(I) iodide and cesium fluoride significantly enhances the Stille reaction. After extensive optimisation, a variety of electronically unfavourable and sterically hindered substrates were coupled in very high yields under mild conditions.
