Scheme

To a stirred solution of the diene aldehyde [1] in dry THF under Ar at -78 fC, vinylmagnesium bromide in THF was added via a syringe. The reaction was stirred for 15 minutes then quenched at -78 fC with sat aq sodium potassium tartrate and stirred while warming to room temperature. The mixture was extracted with pet ether and the combined organic layers dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated to give a 1 : 1 diastereomeric mixture of the triene alcohols as a colorless oil in 69 percent yield.
