A stereoselective synthesis of 13Z retinoic acids via β-methylenealdehydes is described. In methylene-de-oxo-bisubstitution reactions (Knoevenagel, Stobbe, etc.), these new synthons produce stereoselectively E olefins. Hence, a synthesis of 13Z retinoic acids is described, via a stereospecific monodecarboxylation of carboxy-14-retinoic acids.
