Participants

Reaction Steps

In contrast, the reaction of one equivalent of oleyl bromide with 1.2 equivalents of amyl-magnesium bromide and 5% m/m lithium dichlorocuprate in tetrahydrofuran at -25° to -15° and using a procedure identical to that of Example 7 gave about 80% conversion to crude Z-9-tricosene. The remainder of the product is Z-1,9-octadecadiene.
