Abstract

The 1,2-adducts from 1,3-dienes and sulphenyl chlorides are shown to be useful intermediates by their conversions into a variety of functionalised alkenes. ... In connection with studies of the sesquiterpenes called turmerones, 1 we required methods for the oxidative function- alisation of 1,3-dienes, selectively at the terminal position. The synthetic applications of 1,3-dienes would be enhanced if just one of their double bonds could be transformed. We report ...
