Reaction Steps

A mixture of 30 g. of 4-methyl-4-trimethylsilyloxy-oct-1-yn-7-ene, 58.66 g. of tri-n-butylstannane and 200 mg. of azobisisobutyronitrile is placed in a bath at 95° C. and stirred under argon. The mixture is heated at 140° C. for one hour and then at 140° C. under vacuum for 1.5 hours. The mixture is distilled via a Kugelrohr at 140° C., 0.06 mm. to give the product as a colorless liquid.
