Ethyl nona-3,8-dienoate prepared from the palladium-catalysed reaction of butadiene with carbon monoxide and ethanol was found to consist of a 79:21 mixture of trans- and cis-isomers.The ester was used to prepare threo- and erythro-3,4-dihydroxynon-8-ene which were cylised by a Wacker-type catalyst (PdCl2 - CuCl2 - O2) to exo- and endo-brevicomin.Analogous cyclisations were effected on several other ene-diols derived from octa-1,6-diene, octa-1,7-diene, allyl glycidyl ether and two substituted diallyl ethers.The mechanism of the key cyclisation step is discussed.
