✦ Synopsis


A promoted SmI2 direct reaction of dibromoacetic acid with different aldehydes, followed by an elimination reaction also promoted by samarium diiodide, affords (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids 2 with total stereoselectivity. A mechanism to explain this transformation is proposed.
