Abstract

Herein we report a Ti(III)-mediated dehydroxylative cross-coupling reaction of allylic alcohols with electron-deficient olefins. This reaction is amenable to various synthetically versatile allylic alcohols, including geraniol and farnesol, providing a general method for dehydroxylative C-C bond formation. We demonstrated the reaction's utility by simplifying the syntheses of eight useful building blocks that are otherwise laborious to prepare.
