Synthesis of E-vinyl iodides via Pd-catalyzed hydrostannation of terminal alkynes

E-Vinyl iodides may be prepared via a one-pot reaction involving Pd-catalyzed hydrostannation of terminal alkynes followed by iodinolysis of the intermediate vinylstannane. The synthesis is tolerant of functional groups, such as alcohols and esters.
