Abstract

A modular and practical route to versatile cyano-1,3-dienes by a sequence involving deconjugative alkylation and "Tsuji-Saegusa-Ito oxidation" is reported. In this letter, the versatility of the products is also explored, including a route to benzochromene scaffolds common to many natural products.
