Abstract
The synthesis of methyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate was based on a C 4 + C 6 scheme. The coupling reaction took place between the 1-hexanale and phosphonium salt of methyl 1-bromocrotonate in a Wittig condensation. Methyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate is a minor component of the sex pheromone of the bark beetle Pityogenes chalcographus.
