in this paper is reported the stereoselectivesynthesis of all-trans-tetraenes by reductive elimination of 1,8-dibenzoate-2,4,6-trienes with sodium amalgam. The method was applied to the syntheses of 4E, 6E, 8E, 10E-heptatetraene and β—parinaric acid methyl ester.
Panaxacol (1) and dihydropanaxacol (2), cytotoxic polyacetylenes isolated from the callus of Panax ginseng, were synthesized starting from D-(-)-diethyl tartrate. The absoluteconfiguration of 1 was determined to be 9R, 10R and the absoluteconfiguration at C-3 of 2 was tentatively assigned as 3S by the application of the R(+)-alpha-methoxy-alpha-(trifluoro methyl)phenylacetyl (MTPA) method.

Asymmetric synthesis of four possible stereoisomers of (9,10) -epoxyheptadecan-4,6-diyn-3-one was accomplished, and the absolute configuration of the naturally occurring (9R,10S)-epoxyheptadecan-4,6-diyn-3-one (1) was elucidated. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The reaction of benzyl azide with terminal di-, tri-, and tetraynes appended with a range of functional groups has been explored. Standard reaction conditions for BnN3 catalyzed by CuSO(4)(.)5H(2)O gave alkynyl, butadiynyl, and hexatriynyl triazoles in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds regioselectively as determined by the X-ray crystallographic analysis of three derivatives (1c, 1d, and 3c), and no evidence of multiple azide addition to the polyyne framework is observed.
