Abstract

Abstract Image

γ-Hydroxy-α,β-acetylenic esters are used as precursors to prepare γ-hydroxy-α,β-alkenoic esters by means of trans-selective additions of two hydrogen atoms or one hydrogen atom and one iodine atom across the triple bonds. These methods allow for the preparation of β-substituted and α,β-disubstituted alkenoic esters in highly stereoselective manners.
