Stannylmetallation of protected enynals with Bu3Sn(Bu)CuCNLi2 has been proved to be highly dependent on the substrate and on the experimental conditions. (2E,4E)-5-Tributylstannylpenta-2,4-dienal acetal was obtained as a nearly pure isomer when ethylene glycol acetal was used as a protecting group with a 0.28 M stannyl anion concentration.
