A stereoselective synthetic method for the title compounds, E- and Z- allylsilanes, which would be generally applicable for the preparation of other trisubstituted allylsilanes, has been elaborated. The key steps are the following: (i) stereoselective preparation of (2Z)- and (2E)-3-[(diethoxy)phosphoryloxy]-2-octenoates (Z)- and (E)- 4, (ii) substitution of 3-phosphoryloxy group with methyl in the presence of palladium catalyst [(Z/E)-4 → (E/Z)-5]; and (iii) substitution reaction of the desired allyl chlorides with appropriate silyllithiums [(E/Z)-7 → (E/Z)-8].
