Abstract
(Z)-3-dodecen-1-yl(E)-2-butenoate was synthesized starting from acetylene. The key feature of this approach is use of ethylene diamine in the reaction of acetylene and sodium amide for synthesizing 1-decyne. This reaction allowed a convenient preparation of terminal alkyne with a long chain from cheap and common chemicals. The title sex pheromone synthesized showed highly attractant activity in the field to cylas formicarius fabricius.
