Abstract

Diols are desymmetrized by a tandem oxidation/Wittig olefination to give α, β-unsaturated hydroxy esters without the requirement for protecting group strategies; the α, β-unsaturated hydroxy esters are transformed into dienyl diesters using a second oxidation/Wittig olefination sequence using PCC.
