STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (E)-, (E,Z)- AND (E,E)-CONJUGATED DIENES VIA ALKYLATION OF 3-SULFOLENES AS KEY STEP

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.1003

Stereoselective method for synthesizing (E)-, (E,Z)- and (E,E)-conjugated dienes via alkylation of 3-sulfolenes as key step is developed.Sex pheromones with (E)- and (E,E)-conjugated diene structures are synthesized with exclusively high stereoselectivity by applying the method.
