Abstract

Methods are described for conversion of a series of (E [])-alka-(ω− 3),(ω− 1)-dienals 2, via ethynylation to the corresponding alkadienynols 3, followed by sequential [2, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement of their derived phenylsulfenate esters and chemoselective oxidation, into 1- phenylsulfonylalka-1, 2,(ω− 3),(ω− 1)-t
