ChemInform Abstract
The reaction of the alkynes (Ia) and (Ib) with iodine and the mercury salts (IIa) affords stereoselectively the E-β-functionalized vinyl iodides (III), whereas reaction of (Ia) and (Ic) with iodine and double the amount of the mercury salt (IIb) gives the E-1,2-dithiocyanatoalkenes (IV).
