Abstract

The 1, l-diene unit is a key structural feature of many fatty acid derived natural products including arachidonic acid, several of the leukotrienes, and a variety of insect pheromones. In this paper substituted [2-[(tri-methylsilyl) methyl] cyclopropyl] carbinols are demonstrated to cleave readily, upon treatment with acid or upon conversion to the corresponding mesylates, to give mono-and disubstituted 1, l-pentadienes. Stereoselective formation of ...
