Abstract
The synthesis of (2S,3E,5Z)‐2‐amino‐3,5,13‐tetradecatriene [(S‐1)] with high enantiomeric purity in excellent overall yield is described. In the crucial step the stereogenic center was generated by nucleophilic addition of tert‐butyl carbamate to a planar‐chiral tetracarbonyliron(1 +) complex.
