ABSTRACT
A variety of branched alkenylstannanes can directly be synthesized with excellent α-selectivity by the copper-catalyzed hydrostannylation using a distannane or a silylstannane, irrespective of the electronic and steric characteristics of terminal alkynes employed. Synthetic utility of the resulting branched alkenylstannane has been demonstrated by the total synthesis of bexarotene.
