Abstract A stereodivergent approach to 2-alkynyl buta-1,3-dienes from a single stereoisomer of starting α-bromoenal has been developed. By simply switching the sequence of Sonogashira and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions, it is possible to obtain these branched dienynes with retention or almost complete inversion of the double bond configuration.
