A three-step synthesis of (2Z), (4E)-polyenic acids 6 is described. Condensation of aldehydes 1 with potassium prenal enolate led to dihydropyranols 3 which were oxidized into dihydropyrones 5, precursors of (2Z), (4E)-polyenic acids 6. The procedure was applied to a synthesis of 13-cis-retinoic acids from beta-ionylidene acetaldehydes. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A one pot synthesis of the 3,3-dimethylacroyl enol ester function found in the vibsane type diterpenes has been developed based on the Anders-Gassner variant of the Wittig reaction (AGW reaction). This method uses easily accessible acyloxyalkylidene phosphoranes and a variety of aldehydes. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
