Thermal electrocyclic ring-opening of 4-alkyl-2-cyclobutene-1-carbaldehydes occurs at low temperature to give (2Z,4E)-alkadienals exclusively, and the process is exploited in transforming cis-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dimethanol 1 into a variety of naturally occurring 1,3,5-alkatrienes and 2,4-decadienoates. Desymmetrisation of 1 with Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase gives access to both enantiomers of 3-oxabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-6-en-2-one 4, for use in stereocontrolled routes to 6-oxygenated (2Z,4E)-alkadienals.

Giffordene (=(2Z,4Z,6E,8Z)-2,4,6,8-undecatetraene; 9f) and five stereoisomers are new C11H16 hydrocarbons from the marine brown alga Giffordia mitchellae.Their synthesis is based on non-stereoselective Wittig reactions of (E)-2-alkenals with appropriate acetylenic phosphoranes and subsequent chromatographic separation of the resulting (E/Z)-pairs.The uniform enynes (>98percent purity) are then stereospecifically reduced to (Z)-alkenes with Zn(Cu/Ag) in aq.MeOH at r.t. 13C- and 1H-NMR data of the new tetraenes are presented.Biosynthetically, giffordene (9f) originates from dodeca-3,6,9-trienoic acid via an unstable (3Z,5Z,8Z)-1,3,5,8-undecatetraene followed by a thermally allowed antarafacial 1,7-sigmatropic hydrogen shift to the (2Z,4Z,6E,8Z)-isomer 9f.
