The preparation and type II intramolecular [4 + 4] cycloaddition of a bis-diene  is described in connection with studies on the synthesis of taxol (1),  crispolide (2), and vulgarolide (3). The required bis-diene  is prepared by a carboalumination of an alkyne, giving an iodide which is then  coupled in the presence of palladium to a vinyltin to give a stereodefined  diene. Elaboration of this system involves the reaction of 2-lithio-1,  3-butadiene with a dienal to give a bis-1,3-diene tethered at the terminus of one  diene and the internal position of the other. Cycloaddition of this bis-diene  mediated by a nickel(0)/tri-o-biphenyl phosphite catalyst provides a  bicyclo[5.3.1]undecadiene, a ring system common to a variety of complex  molecules.
