Successive treatments of (1 E ,3 E ,5 E )‐ or (1 E ,3 Z ,5 E )‐1,6‐bis(tributylstannyl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene with n BuLi and butanal rendered polyenyl alcohols resulting from one Sn/Li exchange reaction and exhibiting complete retention of the configuration of all C=C bonds. Mono‐ or dimethylated all‐ E ‐configured 1,6‐distannylated conjugated trienes as well as all‐ E ‐1,8‐bis(tributylstannyl)octa‐1,3,5,7‐tetraene and dimethylated congeners thereof reacted similarly. The respective Sn/Li exchange reactions affected the substructure Bu 3 Sn–CH=CH with a 93–94:7–6 preference over Bu 3 Sn–CMe=CH and with a 90:10 preference over Bu 3 Sn–CH=CMe. all‐ E ‐1‐Lithio‐6‐(tributylstannyl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene was incorporated into navenone B after Negishi coupling and into (–)‐cicutoxin after acylation. NMR spectroscopy of our navenone B specimen revealed that certain resonances were misassigned previously.
