Abstract

2, 4-Pentadienylzirconium complexes are generated from 2, 4-or 2, 2′-pentadienyl ethers in turn. These compounds react in situ with aldehydes and ketones in a totally γ- regioselective manner and with predominant anti stereoselectivity to produce bis (homoallylic) alcohols in good yields. Iodocyclization of one of these alcohols represents regio-and stereocontrolled short entry to functionalized tetrahydrofurans.
