Abstract

The regioselection in the alkylation of trimethylsilylallyl anion can be controlled by the use of Schlosser's base to give predominately γ-product with trans-geometry at the double bond. Application of this approach to the synthesis of Z-9-tricosene and the Gypsy moth sex pheromone is demonstrated.
