The dilithiation of N-isobutyl 5-telluro-(2E,4Z)-pentadienamide 3 with n-butyl lithium in Trapp mixture at ca. -100 °C leads to the corresponding N-lithium N-isobutyl 5-lithio-(2E,4Z)-hexadienamide 5, which could be converted into the corresponding cerium reagent 7. Both of the highly functionalized organometallics react with carbonyl compounds to afford the corresponding pure N-isobutyl 6-hydroxyl-(2E,4Z)-hexadienamide derivatives in good yields.
