Usage

Uses

(Z,E)-α-Farnesene is an isomer of α-Farnesene(F102425) acts as an alarm pheromone in termites; also acts as a food attractants for the apple tree pest, the codling moth. α-Farnesene is also the chief compound contributing to the scent of gardenia, making up ~65% of the headspace constituents.

PROCESS FOR MAKING A CONJUGATED DIENE FROM AN ALLYL ALCOHOL

An in-situ method for making a conjugated diene from an allyl alcohol comprising the conversion of the allyl alcohol to an allyl carbonate, allyl ester or allyl formate with concomitant or subsequent conversion of the allyl carbonate, allyl ester or allyl formate to the conjugated diene; the products obtained by said method, and the uses of said products.

Highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-trisubstituted alkenes via propyne bromoboration and tandem Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling

Contrary to all previous reports, bromoboration of propyne with BBr 3 proceeds in ≥98% syn-selectivity to produce (Z)-2-bromo- 1propenyldibromoborane (1). Although 1 Is readily prone to stereoisomerization, It can be converted to the pinacolboronate (2) of ≥ 98% isomeric purity by treatment with pinacol. which may then be subjected to Negishi coupling to give tri substituted (2)-alkenylpinacolboronates (3) containing various R groups In 73-90% yields. Iodinolysis of 3 affords alkenyl iodides (4) In 80-90% yields. All alkenes isolated and identified are ≥98% Z.
