Abstract

Irrespective of cis-trans isomkism, which will not be considered here, most allylic chlorides exist in two forms. Crotyl chloride, for instance, is a mixture of a primary chloride, CH3CH= CHCHa-C1, and a secondary chloride, CHz= CHCHClCHa. This permits the synthesis of two olefins by the reaction with a Grignard derivative, three diolefins by condensation on magnesium, or ten diolefins by condensation of two different allylic halides. In practice ...
