Vinylmercury compounds, vinylboronic acids and vinylstannanes undergo rapid metal-lead exchange with lead tetraacetate in deuterochloroform to generate vinyllead triacetates, which have been characterised by their 1H 1H and 207Pb 1H coupling constants. In addition, a number of divinyl and mixed aryl-vinyllead dicarboxylates have been prepared via boron-lead exchange.
