Reaction Steps

0.89 g 2-[(E)tridec-7-enyl]-1,3-dioxolane (9), 30 mg p-toluenesulphonic acid and 25 ml of water were boiled in 75 ml methanol for 72 h under reflux under blanketing gas (86% conversion). The reaction mixture was extracted twice with 200 ml diethyl ether, washed with 30 ml sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent was distilled off under vacuum. Flash chromatography on silica gel gave (E)-8-tetradecenal (10) (E/Z ratio according to GC>97/3).
