Lithiated allylic phosphonates undergo efficient olefination reactions with a
variety of aldehydes in the presence of HMPA to give terminal 1,3-dienes with
high selectivity for the E-isomer. This method is general and
procedurally simple.

N-sulfonyl imines undergo olefination reactions with various
benzylidenetriphenylphosphoranes or allylidenetriphenylphosphoranes under mild
reaction conditions to afford an array of both Z- and E-isomers of
conjugated alkenes in good to excellent yields and with greater than 99:1
stereoselectivity depending on the N-sulfonyl group.

Synthesis of 1,3-diene from alkyne and ethylene (1 atm) was improved using a
ruthenium NHC carbene complex having a heterocyclic carbene as a ligand. Various
1,3-dienes could be synthesized from alkynes and ethylene.

A stereoselective synthesis of dienes from aldehydes and N-allylhydrazine
derivatives offers high levels of (E)-stereoselectivity for a variety of
substrates. Addition of a dienophile to the reaction mixture allows a one-flask
diene synthesis-cycloaddition sequence.

Cross metathesis of terminal alkenes with methyl (2Z,4E)-hexadienoate
and related dienyl esters promoted by the standard second-generation
Grubbs-Hoveyda catalyst provides substituted (2Z,4E)-dienyl esters
in good yields. A fluorous catalyst is used for separation and recovery in
gram-scale reactions.

A versatile and operationally simple base-catalyzed multi-component domino
reaction between α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, aldehydes, and alcohols is
described, providing a new efficient, and stereoselective one-pot preparation of
trisubstituted alkenes and 1,3-dienes.

A highly stereoselective Rh(I)-catalyzed 1,3-acetoxyl rearrangement of
1,2-allen-3-yl carboxylates leads to 2-acetoxy-1,3(E)-alkadienes.
Features of the reaction are a high catalytic efficiency, broad scope and
excellent E-selectivity.

functionalized 1,3-butadien-2-ol esters via a new 1,3-shift of an ester moiety
onto a gold-activated allene.

Highly regio- and stereoselective reactions of readily available
2-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,3-allenols with oxalyl chloride in the presence of Et3N
or DMSO afforded methyl 2-(ethynyl)alk-2(E)-enoates and

Deprotonation of 3,3,3-trichloropropyl-1-triphenylphosphonium chloride
generates the corresponding phosphorane, which reacts with aldehydes to give
trichloromethylated (Z)-olefins, which are useful for the synthesis
of (Z)-1,3-enynes, (Z,Z)-1-chloro-1,3-dienes, and 1,3-diynes
in high yields and stereospecificities.

Heating with NaI and DBU in dimethoxyethane effected clean
elimination of tosylates to terminal olefins. This simple one-pot procedure was
also applied to tosylates derived from an Evans Aldol Reaction.

reaction of enynes

Pd(0)-catalyzed carbonylation of (Z)-2-en-4-yn carbonates in the presence
of CO and an alcohol gives vinylallenyl esters with an exclusively E-configuration
in high yields. The unreactivity of E-configured enyne carbonates may
indicate that the reaction is promoted via the cooperative coordination of
palladium with both alkynyl and carbonate moieties.
