Three-step α-acylation of (E)-cinnamate esters with inversion of stereochemistry through formation and cleavage of carbon- pentamethylcyclopentadienyl bonds

The reaction of cinnamate esters with lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide in the presence of chlorodiethylaluminum provides the corresponding 1,4-adducts in high yield. The adducts undergo α-acylation reaction upon treatment with lithium diisopropylamide
