• Additives: fluoride can coordinate to the organotin reagent to form a hypervalent tin species • A general Stille cross-coupling reaction employing aryl chlorides (which are more abundant
that is believed to undergo transmetallation at a faster rate: and less expensive than aryl iodides, aryl bromides, and aryl triflates) has been developed:
Scott, W. J.; Stille, J. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 3033–3040. • 1-substituted vinylstannanes can be poor substrates for the Stille reaction, probably due to steric
effects. However, conditions have been discovered that provide the desired Stille coupling
