The stereospecific reduction of 2-phenylsulfonyl-1,3-dienes 1i to conjugated EZ dienes 2 catalysed by transition metal complexes in the presence of n-butylmagnesium chloride is described.This method is illustrated by the synthesis of the pheromone of Spodoptera littoralis : 9Z,11E-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate 8, R = Ac.
