Abstract

Abstract Experiments on the synthesis of (3-methylene-4-chloro) butylphenyl sulfide, which is the precursor of the corresponding Grignard reagent, are described. With two typical electrophiles, namely isovaleraldehyde and geranyl chloride, this reagent provides the title terpenes in two further simple steps (oxidation to sulfoxides and thermolysis).
