The Synthesis of Monoterpenes, 1971—1979

Efficient Preparation of Terminal Conjugated Dienes by Coupling of Dienol Phosphates with Grignard Reagents under Iron Catalysis

“…The stereoselective construction of olefins is a very important step for the preparation of various natural products such as terpenes or insect pheromones . Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are frequently used because of their high efficiency in this field.…”
