    Abstract

    Treatment of the 5-benzyloxy-4-methylpent-2-enyl bromide 6 with the low valent bismuth species formed by reduction of bismuth(III) iodide with zinc powder generates an intermediate, which reacts with aldehydes with useful levels of 1,5-stereocontrol in favour of the 1,5-anti-(E)-isomers 4. These products were used to prepared aliphatic compounds with 1,5-syn-related methyl groups. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
