Oct-2-ene → Methyl-undec-9-enoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a mixture of 1 ml of methyl oleate and 1 ml of 2-octene was used in place of 1 ml of the methyl oleate, the reaction temperature was 70°C., and the reaction time was 17 hours. There were obtained methyl 9-undecenoate in a yield of about 5% and methyl 9-pentadecenoate in a yield of about 7% (estimated from the chromatogram). Besides, metathesis products were obtained independently from methyl oleate and 2-octene.
