A stereospecific synthesis has been achieved of tetradec-11E-enal and of tetradec-11E-en-1-ol and its acetate - components of the pheromones of many species of insects of the order Lepidoptera - from the readily available undecenoic acid, using the Knoevenagel reaction and catalytic hydroalumination.
