Accordingly, various strategies to access substituted 1,3-dienes in a stereoselective manner have been developed. However, chemo-, regio-and stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted 1,3-dienes still remains elusive and challenging. Readily available propargylic esters have emerged as an appealing class of synthetic intermediates for accessing functionalized 1,3-dienes, especially challenging tri-or tetrasubstituted variants, via transition-metal catalysis, including electrophilic metal and redox neutral catalysis. This review, for the first time, systematically highlights recent advances in transitionmetal catalyzed synthesis of substituted 1,3-dienes from propargylic esters, discusses the mechanisms and synthetic utilities, and gives the remaining challenges and potential opportunities in this field.展开更多
