Reaction of phenyldimethylsilyl-copper with 1,2-propadiene followed by Pd0 catalyzed coupling of the resulting copper intermediate with alkenyl halides affords allylsilane-containing dienes in high yield. Coupling with vinyl bromide gives 2-phenyldimethylsilylmethylbuta-1,3-diene which is an isoprenyl building block for the synthesis of (±)-Ipsenol and (±)-Ipsdienol, the aggregation pheromones of the Ips bark beetle. The photochemical [2 + 2] cyclization of Ipsdienol was also studied.
