Linear dimerization of 1,3,6-octatriene and 2,6-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene in the presence of nickel complexes

Nickel Catalyzed Oligomerization of 1,3-Dienes and Related Reactions

“…Compounds having this stoichiometry are also found in the reaction of isoprene with acetaldehyde, e.g. (91), and are presumably the result of hydrolysis of 77 3 -allylnickel alkoxides similar to (92). 14 …”
