The addition of preformed ketone and ester enolates to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 1 followed by in situ protection leads to the carbonates 3, 7, 8, 11, and 13. They are converted into sensitive functionalized dienes 4, 9, 12, and 14 by a smooth palladium-catalyzed elimination. Both syn- and anti-carbonates 7 and 8 lead to E-dienes 9 in a stereoconvergent manner.
