Stereoselective construction of conjugated trienoic acids was achieved through two successive Stille reactions, the first step consisting of the coupling of (E)-1,2-bis(tributylstannyl)ethene and tributylstannyl (Z)- or (E)-3-iodoalk-2-enoates. Two different routes were used for the second step: (1) cross-coupling of the stannyldienoic acid reagents and vinyl iodides, or (2) cross-coupling of vinylstannane reagents and the tributylstannyl 5-iodopenta-2,4-dienoates generated by iododestannylation of stannyldienes. Vinylstannanes synthesized by stannylmetalation of the Negishi dienyne derived from β- or α-ionone and safranal thus provided access to stereodefined retinoic acids. Some retinoid and yne analogues were also prepared by Sonogashira coupling. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

[structure: see text]. A highly efficient and stereoselective protocol for the syntheses of symmetrical and unsymmetrical carotenoids involving Zr-catalyzed carboalumination of conjugated oligoenynes and Pd- and Zn-catalyzed alkenyl-alkenyl coupling has been developed and applied to the syntheses of beta- and gamma-carotene and vitamin A. gamma-Carotene of > or =99% isomeric purity was prepared in three linear steps (five steps overall) from beta-ionone, enyne 8, (E)-ICH=CHBr, and (E)-Me3SiC triple bond CCH=CHBr in 32% overall yield.
