The substituted 2-iodoanilines 8b, 8c and 8e were prepared from the commercially available 4-methylaniline, 2-nitro-4-methoxyaniline and 4-fluoroaniline, respectively, according to the procedure described by Ma et al.12b Ethyl 4-amino-3- iodobenzoate 8d and 4-nitro-2-iodoaniline 8f were prepared from commercially available ethyl 4-aminobenzoate and 4-nitroaniline, respectively by iodination according to the procedure described by Spivey et al. and Adimurthy et al., respectively.12c,d

36. 3N as base and an equimolar amount of copper and palladium catalysts (0.01 equiv). Iododerivatives 9d and 9f show low solubility in THF and a mixture of THF-DMF was used as solvent.
37. 3 was adjusted depending on the solubility of the starting aldehydes. The above-mentioned reaction proceeds slowly at r.t. (typically 2 d). Notably, worse results have been obtained by heating the reaction mixture.

39. (a) Only E-isomers of acids 13 were obtained (NMR analysis). The Wittig reaction of ylide 12 with the aldehydes affords the 3-(E)-alkylidene-succinic acid monoalkyl esters in a highly stereoselective way; for previous studies on this reaction see: Paquette, L. A.; Schulze, M. M.; Bolin, D. J. Org. Chem. 1994, 59, 2043.
