In this Cu/Ag cocatalyzed Conia-ene reaction, 2-(pent-4-ynyl)malononitrile remained unaffected while 2-(pent-4-ynyl)malonate gave moderate yields of the corresponding cyclized product having the double bond in the endocyclic position.

58. 2, 4a was obtained in only 55% along with 5% of the 6-endo decarboxylated product.
59. The stereochemistry of the exocyclic double bond in 4a was found to be E by comparison of its spectral and analytical data with those of the compound prepared from the reaction of la with methyl 4-iodobenzoate ac- cording to a procedure reported by us earlier: G. Fournet, G. Balme, I Goré, Tetrahedron 1991, 47, 6293.
