Reaction Steps

(S)-3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-7-octene-1-ol (I) (10.0 g, 58.1 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium chloride (40.8 mg, 0.058 mmol), and 1,4-bisphenylphosphinobutane (1.24 g, 2.91 mmol) were placed in a 50 ml three neck distillation flask provided with a thermometer and a vacuum distilling apparatus having a side arm. The mixture was then heated for 6 hours with stirring at a reaction temperature of 150° C. under a reduced pressure of 25 mmHg while distilling dienes which is to be produced. 7.3 g (115° to 120° C./25 mmHg) of (S)-3,7-dimethyl-5,7-octadiene-1-ol (II) was obtained in 82% yield.
