Functional zinc reagents can be applied to palladium catalyzed crosscoupling reaction with (2E,4E )-and (2E,4Z )-5-bromopenta-2,4dienal. The corresponding functional dienic aldehydes were obtained in goods yields. From the (2E,4E ) isomer, the (2E,4E ) dienals were isolated as single isomer according to a total stereoselective reaction. But, from the (2E,4Z ) isomer the coupling reaction has lead to a mixture of (2E,4E ) and (2E,4Z ) isomers. A mechanism for the loss of stereoselectivity in the last case is proposed.
