摘要

Primary alkyl Grignard reagents react regioselectively with diketene in the presence of cobalt (II) iodide to afford 3-methylenealkanoic acids in good yields. The synthetic utility of this reaction is demonstrated in the syntheses of terpenoids by two methods. Utilizing the isomerization of double bond of 3-methylenealkanoic acids, geranic acid and farnesic acid were obtained in two steps. Another method, the tandem [3, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement ...
