A
Z-alkenyl unit conjugated with an alkene or alkyne is often seen in structures of natural products. Since metal-, particularly Pd- or Ni- catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkenyl halide occur with high stereospecificity, the resulting alkenes are obtained with retention of the configuration of the starting alkenyl halide. To prepare geometrically pure polyenes and enynes bearing a conjugated
Z-alkenyl group, geometrically pure (
Z) -alkenyl halides are essentially required. This review describes stereoselective synthesis of (
Z) -bromoalkenes and stereospecific synthesis of some natural polyenes having a
Z-alkenyl unit, in the following order; i) stereoselective preparation of (1
Z) -1-bromo-l-alkenes including alkynyl, alkenyl and aryl substituted bromoalkenes by Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of 1, 1-dibromoalkenes with Bu
3SnH, ii) Sonogashira, Suzuki, and Kumada-Tamao cross coupling reactions of (1
Z) -1-bromo-l-alkenes with alkyne, alkenylboronic acid, and alkyl Grignard reagent in the presence of Pd or Ni catalysts, iii) the total synthesis of (2
Z, 4
E, 6E) -dehydrodendrolasin, (11
Z) -retinal, and bombykol.
