1,6‐Dibromohexa‐1,3,5‐triene, previously described by us and easily obtained from 5‐bromopenta‐2,4‐dienal by condensation with bromomethylene triphenylphosphorane, is a versatile precursor for the synthesis of conjugated 1,3,5‐trienic derivatives of controlled configuration. In this paper, we describe the stereocontrolled synthesis of E,E,Z, E,E,E and Z,E,Z isomers of α‐bromo‐ω‐substituted‐1,3,5‐hexatrienes and 1,6‐disubstituted‐1,3,5‐hexatrienes. The synthesis is based on palladium‐catalysed single or double cross‐coupling reactions between the three isomers − 1E,3E,5Z, 1E,3E,5E and 1Z,3E,5Z − of the intermediate 1,6‐dibromohexa‐1,3,5‐triene and various organozinc reagents.
