Abstract

Previous work had shown that reducuve lithiation of allyl phenyl thioethers, followed by transmetallation, produces allylmetallics which react selectively with carbonyl compounds at the most or least substituted terminus; the latter results in mainly cis olefin. This technology allows extremely efficient syntheses of racemic versions of lavandulol (two-pot, 70% yield), the Comstock mealy bug pheromone (one-pot, 45% yield) and the California red scale ...
