A general synthesis of 2-substituted cyclic 1,3-dienes in two steps from alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones has been developed. Formation of a dien-2-yl triflate followed by a copper(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with a Grignard reagent gives 2-substituted dienes in fair to excellent yields. Alkyl, aryl, and allyl Grignard reagents can be used.
