24. We are aware of other possibilities, which could have resulted in a selective synthesis of Homomyrcene 5a, e.g. the Pd-catalyzed elimination of the Z-isomer of 7 in the presence of 1 equiv. (!) propargylzinc bromide [9c] or 1 equiv. of allylstannane (!) [9a]. For impressive selectivities using dialkylamines (!) instead of an acetates as leaving groups see a) H. Kumobayashi, S.
