Abstract:
A chameleonic reaction : The transition‐metal‐catalyzed telomerization of 1,3‐dienes with different nucleophiles leads to the synthesis of numerous products which can be applied in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry as well as in polymers and flavors. This Review shows the versatility of the telomerization based on recent research and industrial applications.
