Stereoselective transfer of 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-alkenyl group from boron to tin has been realized by a catalytic amount of copper(I) iodide in the presence of aqueous NaOH under extremely mild reaction conditions to provide (E)-1-(tributylstannyl)-1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-alkenes (2) exclusively in good to high yields.
