ACETIC ACID 5-HEXEN-1-YL ESTER Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

(4E,7Z)-4,7-Tridecadienyl acetate,a component of the sex pheromone was synthesized from 5-hexenyl acetate. CM of 5-decene with 5-hexenyl acetate is used to produce the insect pheromone. Used in olefin cross metathesis.

General Description

5-Hexenyl acetate is a linear ester. It can undergo ruthenium-catalyzed cross-metathesis reactions with α-substituted vinyl boronates in dichloromethane. It participates in the post-polymerization modification step during the preparation of poly(vinylnorbornene).
