Dry THF (3 ml) was treated with trimethylsilyl iodide (260 mg, 185 μl, 1.30 mmol) at room temperature and stirred for 15 min to form 4-trimethylsiloxybutyl iodide (11). A solution of CuCN. (LiCl)2 in THF (1M, 100 μl) was added, and the mixture was cooled to -40° C. The above prepared solution of Grignard reagent 10, was then added over a period of 30 min, and a white precipitate formed. The mixture was stirred at -40° to -20° C. for 1 hr followed by an additional 1 hr at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with ammonium chloride solution and ammonia mixture (2:1, v/v), and the product was extracted with hexane/ether (1:1) mixture (Rf =0.60, 19:1 hexane/ethyl acetate, v/v). The crude (8Z,11Z)-trimethylsiloxy-8,11-tetradecadiene (12) was dissolved in THF (6 ml) and deprotected with tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution in THF (1M, 2 ml) to form the alcohol 13. Acetylation of the alcohol 13 with acetic anhydride/pyridine mixture (0.1 ml/1 ml) and purification by flash chromatography afforded (8Z,11Z)-8,11-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate (14) (80 mg) in 34% yield based on the starting bromide (5). 1H NMR (400 MHz) δ: 5.36 (m, 4H, CH=CH-8, 9, 11, 12), 4.05 (t, J=6.7, 7.0 Hz, 2H, CH2 -1), 2.77 (dd, J=6.4, 6.4 Hz, 2H, =CH--CH2 --CH=), 2.06 (m, 4H, CH2 -7, 13), 2.04 (s, 3H, --COCH3), 1.60 (tt, J=7.3, 7.3, 7.6, 7.6 Hz, 2H, CH2 -6), 1.4-1.2 (m, 8H, CH2 -2, 3, 4, 5), 0.97 (t, J=7.3, 7.6 Hz, 3H, CH3 -14). 13C NMR (100.6 MHz) δ: 171.2 (C=O), 131.7 (=CH-12), 130.0 (=CH-11), 128.0 (=CH-9), 127.3 (=CH-8), 64.6 (CH2 -1), 29.5 (CH2 -2), 29.1 (CH2 -3, 4), 28.6 (CH2 -5), 27.2 (CH2 -6), 25.9 (CH2 -7), 25.5 (CH2 -10), 21.0 (CH3C=O), 20.5 (CH2 -13), 14.3 (CH3).
