✦ Synopsis


The addition-elimination of copper-zinc organometallicsRCu(CN)ZnX to (E)-1-nitro-2-phenylsulfonyl ethylene 2a gave highlyfunctionalizedpure (E) nitro olefns and stereoselectively (IE, 3E) and (IE, 3Z)-I-nitrodienes in excellent yields. J%Alkylthio nitro olejks such as 2-ethylthio-1 -nitro-I-cyclohexene 2b and 2,2-dimethylthio-l-nitroethylene 12 were found to have a similar behavior. This methodology allowed an expeditive preparation of the triene 5 which underwent an extremely mild silica gel-catalyzed, stereospecifc Diels-Alder cyclization.
