A process for the preparation of cis-9-tricosene is disclosed. Cis-1,9-octadecadiene, which may be obtained by the dehydration of oleyl alcohol, is metallated with an organomagnesium halide, producing cis-9-octadecenylmagnesium halide, which in turn is alkylated with n-pentyl halide to form the desired cis-9-tricosene. |
