Reaction Steps

FIG. 6 shows an alternative synthesis of 5-decenyl acetate, in which 1-hexene is reacted with 5-hexenoic acid in the presence of Grubbs' catalyst to produce 5-decenoic acid that can be recrystallized, reduced to an alcohol, and acetylated to yield a greater than 90% E-5-decenyl acetate.
