Abstract
Conjugate addition of organozinc reagents to readily available 2,3-allenals enables a unique and practical method for the preparation of stereodefined, fully substituted olefins bearing an extremely versatile aldehyde functionality. The geometry of the newly formed double bond is controlled by unique regiospecific oxygen-protonation of the enolate intermediates, generating 1,3-alkadienols, followed by 1,5-H-transfer.
