Les anions-radicaux de l'isoprène et du butadiène intermédiaires de synthèse en chimie organique

We have synthesized a series of alkadiene and dialcohol homologs of terpenoid natural products by using anion-radicals of isoprene and butadiene. The reactions of the two monomers were initiated anionically by use of alkali metal–aromatic hydrocarbon complexes. The polymerization was stopped at the dimer stage. This method constitutes a route of synthesis for numerous organic compounds, such as alcohols and hydrocarbons.
