The reaction of allylic dienylic sulfone with dibromodifiuoromethane in the presence of alumina-supported KOH in dichloromethane solution results in facile rearrangement affording the corresponding all-trans 1,3,5,7-octatetraenes in excellent yields. This result shows that the double bonds of stereochemically defined allylic dienylic sulfone retain their stereochemistry and the newly formed double bond has an (E)-configurafion in the modified Rambeig-B?cklund procedure.
