We describe the regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of (Z,E,E)-alpha-brom
o-omega-substituted hexatrienes. The synthesis is based on a mono pallado-c
atalysed cross-coupling reaction between (1E,3E,5Z) isomer of 1,6-dibromohe
xa-1,3,5-triene and various organozinc reagents. (C) 1999 Published by Else
