Studies towards the synthesis of the novel antileukemic agent CI-920 and the addition of cuprates to vinyltriphenylphosphonium bromide : a synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted 1Z,4Z-pentadienes

A new method for the preparation of 1,5-disubstituted-1Z,4Z-pentadienes by the addition of alkenyl cuprates to vinyltriphenylphosphonium bromide followed by an aldehyde is described. This method is used for the syntheses of 6Z,9Z-heneicosadiene and 15,15-(diethyldithio)-13S-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-6Z,9Z,11E-pentadecatriene. Syntheses of $(-)$-(5R)-argentilactone and (+)-(5R)-goniothalamin are described. Model studies towards the synthesis of the novel antileukemic agent CI-920 were carried out.
