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.
