β¦ Synopsis
Addition of (pseudo) halogens across the triple bond of 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne, followed by a 1,4-elimination, provides a very simple preparation of ten novel butadienes.
In recent years there has been a great deal of interest in asymmetrically substituted butadienes, both for theoretical reasons and for their synthetic utility.
2-5
In this communication we report the preparation of ten such dienes in two steps from 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne. This alkyne is an excellent precursor for butadienes since it already contains the requisite skeleton, two 1~ bonds and two substituents.

The title compounds were prepared by addition-elimination reactions of 2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-2,3-butadien-l-01. The latter was readily obtained from 1,4-dichloro-2-butyne by selenosulfonation, reductive elimination of chlorine and [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of the corresponding selenoxide.
The title molecule, C 28 H 22 , is centrosymmetric with an inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. In the crystal structure, there are two intermolecular C phenyl -HΓ Γ Γ phenyl interactions.
Title products, lithiodienol ethers ti and .& synthetic equivalents of I-lithio pent-3-ene-2-one and 4-lithio-senecialdehyde were obtained by bromine-lithium exchange. They are choice reagents for the transformations L + 2\_ and L + L, respectively.
