✦ Synopsis
Recently, vinylmercurials have become available by a variety of acetylene addition reactions.3-6
These reactions appear to accommodate con-

The vinylmercurials themselves possess a number of characteristics making them attractive as synthetic intermediates.
Recently we reported that they can be readily converted into a,,B-unsaturated carboxylic acids and esters in excellent yield.7 We now wish -Lo report
