Abstract
A regioselective base-induced ring opening of readily available sulfolenes followed by a stereoselective palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling enable a practical and scalable dienylation. The dienylation reaction is particularly useful for the synthesis of synthetically challenging dienes containing cis double bonds and conjugated polyenes.
