Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was performed analogous to Example 1 with 500 mg (2.71 mmol) 3-tert-butyl-2,2-dimethylhex-5-en-3-ol, 1.93 ml (2.71 mmol) of a 1.4-molar n-butyllithium solution in pentane, 468 mg (2.71 mmol) benzyl-(3-methyl-but-2-enylidene)amine and 370 mg (2.71 mmol) ZnCl2. The raw product obtained was cleaned by means of a silica column with 25-100% diethyl ether/light gasoline. There was obtained the amine as a colorless oil.
