Significance

Baba and co-workers report a novel carbobismuthination reaction of alkenes using bismuth trihalides and ketene silyl acetals. Furthermore, in this protocol, the first switch in regio­selectivity of the carbometalation using BiCl3 instead of BiBr3 is reported.

Comment

The resultant alkylbismuth compounds react with a range of reagents in order to give functionalized aliphatics. Therefore, reaction with N-bromosuccinimide furnishes the bromide, reaction with AIBN and PhSSPh introduces a thiophenyl group, and PhI(OAc)2 in combination with TMSOAc gives the acetate.
