Cyanomethylenetrimethylphosphorane (CMMP), a new Mitsunobu reagent developed recently by the authors, mediated the alkylation of prenyl and geranyl phenyl sulfone with primary and secondary alcohols quite efficiently. Utilizing geranyl phenyl sulfone, norfaranal, an analog of the unique trail pheromone produced by Pharaoh's ant, was synthesized in a short number of steps. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
