title: Efficient preparation of terminal conjugated dienes by coupling of dienol phosphates with grignard reagents under iron catalysis.
abstract: An efficient new route to prepare stereoselectively terminal conjugated dienes by coupling Grignard reagents and dienol phosphates in the presence of Fe(acac)3 is described. The synthetic utility of this new iron-catalyzed procedure is illustrated by the synthesis of the pheromone of Diparopsis castanea according to a very expeditious strategy.
