Conjugated polyenic tellurides as novel building blocks: A facile and novel stereoselective preparation of conjugated polyenic ketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)00089-6

Upon treatment with butyllithium followed by adding zinc halide, conjugated polyenic tellurides smoothly undergo a Pd(0)-catalyzed cross coupling reaction with acyl chlorides to form the pure thermodynamically more stable conjugated polyenic ketones in go
