Elimination reactions have been performed on sulfonium salts mimicking the intermediates in the title reaction.It has been found that the direction of the elimination is strongly influenced by the phosphate residue favouring the formation of the "natural" isomer.This has been attributed to the very strong electron attracting power of the phosphoric ester group.Keywords: prenyl transferase / phosphoric esters / orientation of elimination reactions
