Abstract

Summary: The stereocontrolled preparation of extended acyclic systems using the iterative enolate Claisen rear- rangement of allylic glycolates is described. This strategy has been demonstrated in the stereospecific synthesis of a pine sawfly pheromone. ... Sir: The development of stereoselective techniques for use in the linear elaboration of complex acyclic targets has been a focus of considerable attention in recent years.'+ While linear construction of extended acyclic systems offers ...
