Literature request
Dear All,
I've been lurking for a while on the forum and read the "Organic chemistry" subforum from start to end (took me for a few weeks).
This is my first post so please bear with me.
The why: there is a topic "Spices extraction" in which someone mentioned linalool and that it can be extracted from e.g. coriander seeds. I love
coriander (carrot coriander soup), grew coriander in the garden, have coriander seeds so I dug deeper. Yesterday evening I was searching linalool
related things on the net and came across an interesting article:
http://www.google.hu/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&am...
The pheromone in that article is very similar to linalool and thought it might be synthesized from that.
Apparently it can, there is an article in Tetrahedron Letters where the synthesis should be described:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040403902...
Of course, I have only a Guest account and can't read the full article. If someone here on the forum could access it in its full glory and upload
somewhere that would be nice.
/There are different synthesis routes but the best small-scale synth should start from coriander-linalool because linalool is optically active and the
beetles are very sensitive to the enantiomeric purity. More than 13% of the wrong isomer in one field trial and the pheromone was not working or
worse: it had repulsive effect. Coriander has the right form, synthetic linalool or the one from lavander is bad to start with!/
And a general question in the end: what should I do if I wanted another article to be retrieved by someone with access to the appropriate online
source? Should I open another thread in the Beginnings section or is there a dedicated sub-forum or thread somewhere for such requests?
Thanks,
Pumukli

The references forum. It does say "Articles or books may be requested or shared in this forum" you know. If you contribute positively towards the
forum for a while you will be allowed access to the forum, it isn't really a big deal. Nevertheless you probs want to have more than one post under
your belt before you ask 
Until then? I dunno

Hello.
I've had a 100% success rate with emailing paper authors and asking for a copy of their papers. As an example, here is the last email I sent.

Subject: Amateur chemist requesting copy of paper
Hello.
May I have a copy of your paper "Lithium Polysulfidophosphates: A
Family of Lithium-Conducting Sulfur-Rich Compounds for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries"?
I'm an amateur chemist and don't have access to that journal.
Thanks!

Oh, yeah!
Asking the original source is the most obvious. How could I forgot that? :-)
Thanks!
