Huang,Li,Lu,Aisa
, p. 727 - 729 (2006)
Components of the Grapholitha molesta sex pheromone, (Z/E)-8-dodecenyl acetates (1, 2), were synthesized in five steps in 20% overall yield using 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (3) as starting material.
Palladium-catalyzed decarbonylative dehydration of fatty acids for the production of linear alpha olefins
Liu, Yiyang,Kim, Kelly E.,Herbert, Myles B.,Fedorov, Alexey,Grubbs, Robert H.,Stoltz, Brian M.
, p. 130 - 136 (2014)
A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed decarbonylative dehydration reaction of carboxylic acids is reported. This method transforms abundant and renewable even-numbered natural fatty acids into valuable and expensive odd-numbered alpha olefins. Additionally, the chemistry displays a high functional group tolerance. The process employs a low loading of palladium catalyst and proceeds under solvent-free and relatively mild conditions.

A novel catalytic domino reductive hydroformylation-esterification of olefins is reported. The optimal protocol makes use of an inexpensive Ru carbonyl catalyst and uses acetic acid as both solvent and reactant. In general, moderate to good yields are obtained using aliphatic or aromatic olefins including industrially relevant di-isobutene. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to various acetate esters from unfunctionalized olefins.

, (2020/02/14)
Methods for the preparation of alkenes including insect pheromones are described. The methods include homologation reactions employing reagents such as 1,3-diesters, epoxides, cyanoacetates, and cyanide salts for elongation of starting materials and intermediates by one or two carbon atoms. The alkenes include insect pheromones useful in a number of agricultural applications.
SYNTHESIS OF PHEROMONES AND RELATED MATERIALS VIA OLEFIN METATHESIS

, (2018/09/12)
Methods for preparation of olefins, including 8- and 11-unsaturated monoenes and polyenes, via transition metathesis-based synthetic routes are described. Metathesis reactions in the methods are catalyzed by transition metal catalysts including tungsten-, molybdenum-, and ruthenium-based catalysts. The olefins include insect pheromones useful in a number of agricultural applications.

Alkylsilicates were engaged under photoredox/nickel dual catalysis conditions with alkyl halides for the first time. The C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling products were obtained in moderate yields and were accompanied by the homocoupling
PALLADIUM-CATALYZED DECARBONYLATION OF FATTY ACID ANHYDRIDES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LINEAR ALPHA OLEFINS
-
Page/Page column, (2014/06/23)
The present invention is directed to methods of forming olefins, especially linear alpha olefins from fatty acids or anhydrides, each method comprising: contacting an amount of precursor carboxylic acid anhydride with a palladium catalyst comprising a bidentate bis-phosphine ligand in a reaction mixture so as to form an olefin in a product with the concomittant formation and removal of CO and water from the reaction mixture, either directly or indirectly, wherein the reaction mixture is maintained with a sub-stoichiometric excess of a sacrificial carboxylic acid anhydride, an organic acid, or both, said sub-stoichiometric excess being relative to the amount of the precursor carboxylic acid anhydride. The precursor carboxylic acid anhydride may be added to the reaction mixture directly or formed in situ by the reaction between at least one precursor carboxylic acid with a stoichiometric amount of the sacrificial acid anhydride.
Z -selective ethenolysis with a ruthenium metathesis catalyst: Experiment and theory

The Z-selective ethenolysis activity of chelated ruthenium metathesis catalysts was investigated with experiment and theory. A five-membered chelated catalyst that was successfully employed in Z-selective cross metathesis reactions has now been found to be highly active for Z-selective ethenolysis at low ethylene pressures, while tolerating a wide variety of functional groups. This phenomenon also affects its activity in cross metathesis reactions and prohibits crossover reactions of internal olefins via trisubstituted ruthenacyclobutane intermediates. In contrast, a related catalyst containing a six-membered chelated architecture is not active for ethenolysis and seems to react through different pathways more reminiscent of previous generations of ruthenium catalysts. Computational investigations of the effects of substitution on relevant transition states and ruthenacyclobutane intermediates revealed that the differences of activities are attributed to the steric repulsions of the anionic ligand with the chelating groups.
Pheromone synthesis. Part 240: Cross-metathesis with Grubbs I (but not Grubbs II) catalyst for the synthesis of (R)-trogodermal (14-methyl-8-hexadecenal) to study the optical rotatory powers of compounds with a terminal sec-butyl group
Mori, Kenji
experimental part, p. 3900 - 3909 (2009/09/08)
(R)-Trogodermal (14-methyl-8-hexadecenal), the sex pheromone of Trogoderma species of pest insects against stored products, and its (S)-isomer were synthesized by using olefin cross-metathesis between (R)- or (S)-7-methyl-1-nonene and 8-nonenyl acetate as the key step. This step was successful with Grubbs I but not with Grubbs II catalyst. The latter caused randomization of the carbon skeleton to give a mixture of abnormal products with both longer or shorter carbon chains than the desired product. The specific rotations of 18 newly and 6 previously synthesized compounds with a terminal sec-butyl group were measured to conclude them to be [α]D +3.5 to +6.5 or -3.6 to -6.4.
