Preparation of a nylon-11 precursor from renewable canola oil

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-0033-1338478

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.
