✦ Synopsis
A two step, totally stereoselective synthesis of (E,E)-lA-dialkoxy-l,3-butadienes from chiral secondary alcohols has been developed. The key step involves the regio-and stereoselective hydrozirconation of alkoxyethynes derived from chiral alcohols; the intermediate (E)-(2alkoxyvinyl)zircouium compounds, after treatment with cuprous chloride and thermally induced decomposition of the corresponding (2-alkoxyvinyl)copper, give the dialkoxybutadienes in moderate yield but with complete (E,E)diastercoselectivity.
