51. For a discussion of selective photochemical isomerization of all-carbon trienes followed by thermal 6π electrocyclization, see: von Essen, R.; von Zezschwitz, P.; Vidovic, D.; de Meijere, A. Chem.-Eur. J. 2004, 10, 4341. This sequence was ideal because the vinyl bromides E-3 and Z-3 both underwent Suzuki cross-coupling with low levels of stereospecificity, providing inseparable mixtures of 2a and the undesired triene in approximately 2:1 and 3:1 ratios, respectively.
