Abstract
Ethyl (E)-3-methyl-2-heptenoate, 6, or ethyl (Z)-3-methyl-2-heptenoate, 8, was prepared in high yield with the perfect retention of configuration by the reaction of ethyl (E)-3-phenylthio-2-butenoate, 5, or (Z)-3-phenylthio-2-butenoate, 7, with n-butylmagnesium bromide and cuprous iodide, respectively.
