Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.170 ml (1.0 mmol) of myrcene, 0.186 ml (1.2 mmol) of diphenylsilane, and 6.0 mg (0.01 mmol) of tetraethylammonium μ-hydridebis(pentacarbonylmolybdenum) was heated in a sealed tube at 100° C. for 24 hours while being stirred. GLC analysis of the reaction mixture revealed that 6-(diphenylsilyl)methyl-2-methyl-2,6-octadiene and 8-diphenylsilyl-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene were produced at a ratio of about 75:25 in a total yield of 95%. 6-(Diphenylsilyl)methyl-2-methyl-2,6-octadiene:
