Simple syntheses of (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol, (Z)-7-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)-9-tetradecenal and (Z)-9-hexadecen-1-yl acetate from aleuritic acid

Lac Processing and Product Development Division, Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums, Namkum, Ranchi-834 010, Jharkhand, India E-mail : r.n.majee@gmail.com Manuscript received 09 February 2010, revised 11 March 2011, accepted 11 January 2012 Insect sex pheromones are used for monitoring and management of crop pests. Four compounds (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol, (Z)-7-tetradecen-l-yl acetate, (Z)-9-tetradecenal and (Z)-9-hexadecen-l-yl acetate reported as components of some important agricultural insect pests have been synthesized from threo-aleuritic acid (9,10,16-trihydroxyhexadecanoic acid) involving simplified Wittig reactions with improved yield.
