Abstract

The reactions of Z-rich unsaturated Weinreb amides with organolithium and organocerium reagents were examined. Taking in consideration both the extent of geometry retention and cleanness of the reaction, organocerium reagents were more effective for the conversion to Z-α, β-unsaturated ketones.
