General description

Geranyl chloride undergoes palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with aryl and alkenylgold(I) phosphanes to afford the α-substitution product.

Application

Geranyl chloride was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of:
  • C25 compound moenocinol
  • 2-methyl-6-geranylphenol
  • manoalide and seco-manoalide analogs
