The highly regioselective cobalt-catalysed 1,4-hydrovinylation of terminal alkenes with 2-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene generates in a stereospecific fashion unsaturated E-configured silyl enol ether intermediates that are suitable for diastereoselective Mukaiyama-aldol reactions with bulky aliphatic aldehydes. The acidic hydrolysis of the enol ethers to γ,δ- unsaturated ketones followed by ozonolysis can be used for the synthesis of various 1,4-diketones and polycarbonyl derivatives. The 1,4-diketones and polycarbonyl derivatives were successfully tested for the synthesis of some mono- and bis-pyrrole derivatives. The γ,δ-unsaturated ketones are useful building blocks (e.g., in natural product synthesis) and can be generated in a one-pot procedure. Copyright
