(0.60 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) at -78 °C under argon. The reaction was stirred for 1 h at the same temperature. Aldehyde 9 (108 mg, 0.37 mmol) in dry THF (1.5 mL) at -78 °C was then added via a Teflon cannula. After 1 h, the reaction was quenched with aq NH4Cl, extracted with Et2O, and worked up.
15 Ratio measured by GC. The E/Z-isomerization could have occurred either in the allylic barium reagent or during the reduction of the xanthate, which proceeds via a homoallylic radical.
