The sequential 1,4-elimination reaction of (E)-4-alkoxy-2-butenyl benzoates and [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement gave (2Z,4E)-2,4-pentadien-1-ols stereoselectively. Z-Selective formation of intermediary vinyl ethers, whose stereochemistry was well elucidated by the "syn-effect", was achieved by treatment of the 2-butenyl benzoates with KOH in the presence of Pd catalyst. The subsequent [1,2]-Wittg rearrangement by use of n-BuLi proceeded with retention of the stereochemistry of the intermediary vinyl ethers.
