A preparative method has been developed for obtaining methyl (+/-)-tetradeca-2E,4,5-trienoate - the racemate of the sex pheromone of the dried-bean beetle.Using methyl 4-chlorotetradec-5-ynoate as an example, a detailed study has been made of the dependence of the regiochemistry of reduction on the activity of a zinc-copper couple, the methods of its activation, and the acidity of the proton donor.
