SYNTHESIS OF E,E-FARNESOL, FARNESYL ACETATE AND SQUALENE FROM FARNESENE VIA FARNESYL CHLORIDE

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods for preparing polyunsaturated hydrocarbons, such as E,E-farnesol, farnesyl acetate and squalene, by base catalyzed addition of a dialkylamine to a 3-methylene-1-alkene, such as farnesene. The present disclosure also provides compositions including one more farnesene derivatives prepared using the disclosed methods.
