Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.170 ml (1.0 mmol) of myrcene, 0.192 ml (1.2 mmol) of triethylsilane, and 5.2 mg (0.01 mmol) of tetraethylammonium μ-hydridebis(pentacarbonylchromium) was heated in a sealed tube at 100° C. for 60 hours while being stirred. GLC analysis of the reaction mixture revealed that 6-(triethylsilyl)methyl-2-methyl-2,6-octadiene and 8-triethylsilyl-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene were produced at a ratio of about 7:3 in a yield of 91%. 6-(Triethylsilyl)methyl-2-methyl-2,6-octadiene:
