title: Efficient and general synthetic method for preparing oligoenynes with either trans- or cis-olefinic configuration.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Efficient and practical synthesis of a variety of 1-iodo-4-trimethylsilylbut-1-en-3-yne derivatives with trans- and cis-olefinic configuration, and their repeated use as building blocks for the synthesis of trans- and cis-oligoenynes, respectively, are described.
