Palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions of (arylvinyl)tributyl stannanes with vinyl triflates resulted in the production of stereochemically pure trisubstituted E- and Z-olefins in very good yields. These olefins were transformed to the corresponding all-E- and 9Z-heteroaryl-retinoic acid analogs via Horner-Emmons reaction and subsequent basic hydrolysis in excellent yields.
