Methyl (E)-3-pentenoate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Methyl trans-3-pentenoate may be used for the total synthesis of phytochemicals (-)-grandinolide and (-)-sapranthin.

General Description

Methyl trans-3-pentenoate is an ester. Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of methyl trans-3-pentenoate using silica- and monolith supported Grubbs-Herrmann-type catalysts has been reported. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of with C-ethoxycarbonyl nitrone to form isoxazolidines has been studied.
