Abstract

The simpler the better (or going green): The first examples of the catalytic addition of 1, 3- dienes to simple ketones or nitriles are described. These reactions can be effected on a kilogram scale, representing the shortest access featuring a perfect atom economy to molecules of interest in the perfume industry.
