Abstract

Nucleophilic C-vinylation and C-allylation of aldehydes and ketones followed by O-allylation of the obtained carbinols gave the corresponding allyl or homoallyl ethers, respectively. Ring-closing metathesis of these compounds afforded in many cases cyclic ethers (dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans, respectively) bearing disubstituted and trisubstituted C C bonds. These were then subjected to allylic oxidation to yield conjugated γ-and δ- ...
