title: Synthesis and application of alkenylstannanes derived from base-sensitive cyclopropenes.
abstract: In the presence of stoichiometric potassium fluoride, a range of base-sensitive cyclopropenes undergo direct stannylation using (pentafluoroethyl)tributylstannane. The resulting stannylcyclopropenes serve as precursors to a variety of tetrasubstituted cyclopropenes that might otherwise be difficult to access using alternative methods.
