Abstract

One of the fundamental building blocks of organic chemistry is the 1,3-diene.(1) Butadienes substituted at C-2 are a pivotal component of our new method for constructing optically active 3-alkyl-4-silyl -1-butenes, but few 2-alkyl-1,3-butadienes are commercially available.(2) A broad set of methods have been described for preparation of substituted 1,3-dienes;(3, 4) however, a review of these procedures with a goal of generating simple 2-substituted derivatives in multigram ...
