title: Hexafluoroisopropanol as a unique solvent for stereoselective iododesilylation of vinylsilanes.
abstract: Stereoselective preparation of iodoalkenes from vinylsilanes is described. 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol serves as a unique solvent that ensures high yields and stereoselectivities in the iododesilylation of a variety of functionalized substrates.
