Abstract
Difunctional allylic terpenes are important synthetic building blocks. Func tionalisation of protected geranyl derivatives by SeO2 provides a convenien t route to such compounds. The effect of the geranyl protecting group on th e oxidation of the terminal E-methyl group was systematically investigated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
