Synthesis of ocimin, a 1,5-diene, by a bis-Grignard reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086116

Ocimin, 1,6-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(E)-(E)-hexa-1,5-diene, was synthetized by the bis-Grignard reaction of p-anisaldehyde with 1,4-bis- (bromomagnesium)butane and the dehydration of the intermediate diol using triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride.
