(Chemical Equation Presented) Carbolithiation of diphenylacetylene can be exploited to generate (E)-1-lithio-1,2-diphenylalkyl-1-enes which can be reacted in situ with triisopropylborate to stereoselectively provide (E)-1,2-diphenyl-1-alkylene boronic acids. These tetrasubstituted vinylboronic acids served as versatile intermediates for the generation of tetrasubstituted olefins with retention of stereochemistry. The application of this method for the stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-tamoxifen and related analogues is described.
New nickel-catalyzed carbozincation of alkynes: A short synthesis of (Z)-tamoxifen

A new highlight in the repertoire of carbometalation reactions is the highly stereo- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed carbozincation of internal alkynes. This is exemplified by a short and effective synthesis of the anti-breast-cancer drug (Z)-tamoxifen. This reaction also allows the stereoselective synthesis of various tri- and tetrasubstituted olefins in good yield.
