Aliphatic acids containing an isoprenoid 1,5-diene moiety are prepared in high yields by the selective gamma alkylation of .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated acids with allylic electrophiles. The gamma-regioselectivity of the alkylation is controlled by the use of the dicopper(I) dienolates prepared from the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated acids. The method offers a particularly facile means for synthesizing isoprenoid 1,5-diene natural products such as farnesoic acid by alkylation of senecioic acid with geranyl bromide; geranoic acid by alkylation of senecioic acid with 3,3-dimethallyl bromide; and dl-lanceol by alkylation of tiglic acid with an allylic bromide derived from dl-limonene. Such products find use in the synthesis of insect pheremones, insect juvenile hormones, and components of perfumes.
含有异戊二烯基1,5-二烯基基团的脂肪族酸可通过α,β-不饱和酸与烯丙基电子亲和体的选择性γ-烷基化反应高产得到。使用从α,β-不饱和酸制备的二铜(I)双烯酸盐控制烷基化的γ-区域选择性。该方法特别适用于合成异戊二烯基1,5-二烯基天然产物,例如通过将松叶酸与戊二烯基溴烷烷基化合成芳烃酸;通过将松叶酸与3,3-二甲基烯丙基溴烷烷基化合成戊二烯酸;通过将丁烯酸与从dl-柠檬烯衍生的烯丙基溴烷烷基化合成dl-兰斯酸。这些产品在合成昆虫信息素、昆虫幼激素和香水成分方面有用。
