Abstract

The (Pd-Cu)-catalyzed reactions of trimethylsilyl acetylene with (E) or (Z)-chloroenynes, or 1- chloro-(1E, 3E)-dienes, followed by desilylation and zinc-reduction of the triple bonds led respectively to (3E, 5Z),(3Z, 5Z) and (3E, 5E)-trienes. Application to the syntheses of galbanolenes and (9Z, 11E)-9, 11, 13-tetradecatrien-1-yl acetate has been realized.
