  • Method for the production of ?, ?-olefins by using the copper catalyzed coupling reaction of a Grignard reagent with an allylic substrate
    Patent number: 8258362
    Abstract: A process for the synthesis of linear ?,?-diolefins from an allylic substrate comprises the steps of a) forming the bis-Grignard reagent XMgCH2(CH2)nCH2MgX from an ?,?-acyclic dihalide with X being a halogen; b) preparing a solution comprising an allylic substrate and a copper catalyst; c) catalyzing a coupling reaction by adding to the solution of step (b) the bis-Grignard reagent of step (a); and d) isolating and purifying the ?,?-olefin coupling reaction product.
