Abstract

Abstract Palladium (Il)-catalyzed [3, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement of (4R, 5R)-4, 5- (bisacetoxy)-1, 8-(bisbenzyloxy)-2 (E), 6 (E)-octadiene has proceeded convergently to give (2S, 7S)-2, 7-(bisacetoxy)-1, 8 (bisbenzyloxy)-3 (E), 5 (E)-octadiene, translating the original chirality completely to the migration termini, which constitutes a novel synthesis of optically pure 3, 5-octadiene with C 2 chirality.
