Sodium Iodide → 11-Iodoundec-1-ene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Polyalkylenes, which are available, can be prepared by polymerization of olefins, especially the 1-olefins such as 1-butene, 1-pentene, undecylenic acid-trimethylsilyl ester, and the like, using an isotactic catalyst, especially TiCl3AA/diethylaluminum chloride in toluene. Undecylenic acid-trimethylsilyl ester was, for example, prepared from the reaction of undecylenic acid with trimethylsilyl chloride; undecylenyl iodide was prepared from undecylenol; and undecylenol was allowed to react with thionyl chloride and pyridine to form undecylenyl chloride which was then converted to undecylenyl iodide by reaction with sodium iodide in acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. Undecylenyl triethylammonium iodide was formed by the reaction of undecylenyl iodide and triethylamine in alcohol.
