Manganese-mediated Stereoselective and Chemoselective trans-Dichlorination of Alkenes with Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Permanganate–Trimethylchlorosilane

Abstract

An excellent reagent for the chemo- and stereo-selective trans-dichlorination of alkenes in high yield has been formulated by mixing tetradecyltrimethylammonium permanganate, a relatively stable crystalline solid, with trimethylchlorosilane in methylene dichloride.
