A series of s-cis fixed sterically hindered 1,3-dienes with substituents at 1 and 4 positions of the diene system were synthesized starting from 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexamethylindan via Birch reduction and ruthenium tetroxide oxidation. All compounds structurally related to muconic acid possess E,E configuration at both double bonds.
