Abstract

The reaction of hexa-1,5-dien-3-ols with 2-methyl-1,1,3-triethoxybutane gives unsaturated aldehydes by a Claisen rearrangement which undergo two Cope rearrangements to give 2,5,9-unsaturated aldehydes; the reactions proceed with high stereospecificity when secondary hexa-1,5-dien-3-ols are used, resulting in the 2-trans-5-trans isomer.
