Compound Q&A
How is Isopropyl (2E,4E,7S)-11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,4-dodecadienoate (CAS: 65733-16-6) typically synthesized?
Answer
This compound can be synthesized via a Wittig reaction, where a phosphonium salt reacts with an aldehyde and methoxy group-containing compound. The reaction typically requires a Lewis acid catalyst like aluminium trichloride. The method yields a predominantly cis-isomer due to the steric hindrance provided by the methyl groups.
