Disadvantages
! There is often a problem obtaining the organomercury, lead or tin compounds
! Thick slurries of salts difficult to manipulate if the reaction is carried out catalytically in palladium

R�Use of a base is essential in order toneutralize the hydrogen halide from the reaction�Tolerate a number of functional groups�Iodides react rapidly. Benzyl halides are less reactive�Loss of stereochemistry. Both cis and trans products
Thalium Chemistry in Organic SynthesisBackground
! Thalium acetate was first described at 1903 by Meyer and Goldschmidt
! Among its applications are oxidative cleavage of cyclopropanes, the conversion of chalcones into isoflavones and the hydration of acetylenes
Year 1972
! Direct synthesis of allenic esters from β-ketoesters
! Oxidation of cyclohexanones to adipoins
