Abstract

Promoted by samarium diiodide, the Baylis–Hillman adducts undergo hydroxyl elimination to form trisubstituted alkenes with total ( E)-stereoselectivity in good to excellent yields. The flexibility of this method also opens a new route to synthesize a class of 1,5-hexadiene derivatives by temperature tuning.
