(Z)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,7-octadien-1-yl propanoate (1), a component of the San Jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, Comstock) pheromone, was prepared by the multistage isomerisation of the C6 carbon-carbon double bond of the readily available compound, nerol (3).The synthesis was carried out via the epoxide by subsequent LiAlH4 ring cleavage and Hofmann-like mesylate elimination.
