Abstract
We report a multi-catalytic sequence to a valuable nylon-11 precursor, methyl 11-aminoundecanoate, which is prepared by a ruthenium-catalysed cross-metathesis and a highly regioselective palladium-catalysed amination–hydrogenation reaction, from canola oil, a renewable, natural vegetable oil feedstock.
