Description
Summary:An organolithium reagent containing a 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin moiety has been herein used as homologating agent to build up a fully protected divinylcarbinol by two different synthetic procedures, respectively, based on a step-by-step approach or a tandem process. The resulting molecule contains two double bonds masked by two dithiodimethylene bridges that can be stereoselectively removed to give a <i>E</i>,<i>E</i>- or <i>Z</i>,<i>Z</i>-configured divinylcarbinol. These products could then be conveniently functionalized, for example, with hydroxyl or amino functions, for the construction of the skeleton of more complex systems.
