Studies on PPL catalyzed acetylation of 2-alkanols: Its application for the synthesis of 2-dodecanol and 2-tridecyl acetate, the pheromones of Crematogaster ants and Drosophila mulleri flies

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003858

Several aliphatic 2-alkanols with varying chain length has been efficiently resolved by their acetylation using vinyl acetate/PPL in diisopropyl ether. The effect of solvent polarity, position and type of unsaturation and chain length has been probed. This has led to more convenient synthesis of some insect pheromones.
