a new preparation of the bifunctionalized unsaturated CB homologating agent
2b which is an efficient synthetic tool is described. This method is atom
economic, very efficient on grams scale and easy to handle from cheap comme
rcially available 1,4-cyclohexadiene. Synthetic applications by using a mil
d and selective monohydrolysis of acetal catalysed by FeCl3 are described.
