Abstract

A combination of electro-oxidation and copper(II) chloride mediated homocoupling of γ-acyloxyvinylstannanes afforded 1,3-dienes. The stereoselectivity strongly depended on the solvent system and no isomerization occurred when the reactions were carried out in DMF (0.01 M). The facile synthesis of (6R, 11R)-(7E, 9E)-6,11-hexadeca-7,9-dienyl dibenzoate was thus accomplished from (R)-(E)-1-tributylstannyl-1-octene-3-ol, which was prepared through the lipase-catalyzed reaction in an optically pure form.
