ABSTRACT
An efficient synthesis of stereodefined tetrasubstituted acyclic all-carbon olefins has been developed via a bis(2,6-xylyl)phosphate formation of stereoenriched tertiary alcohols, followed by in situ syn-elimination of the corresponding phosphates under mild conditions. This chemistry tolerates a wide variety of electronically and sterically diverse substrates and generates the desired tetrasubstituted olefins in high yields and stereoselectivities (>95:5) in most cases. This stereocontrolled olefin synthesis has been applied to the synthesis of anticancer drug tamoxifen in three steps from commercially available 1,2-diphenylbutan-1-one in 97:3 stereoselectivity and 78% overall yield.
