  • Catalytic coupling of allylic compounds to substituted olefins
    Patent number: 3966798
    Abstract: Allylic compounds are carbon-to-carbon coupled to substituted olefins by contacting the two compounds in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a Group VIII metal component, a bromine or iodine component, and a Group VA component. The foregoing catalytic process also promotes the intra-molecular, carbon-carbon coupling of allylic and substituted olefin groups wherein both processes provide a method for producing sorbates and related compounds.
