A one-step procedure is described for the synthesis of (E)-2-nonenal from commercial castor oil by ozonolysis in methanol, followed by reduction of the ozonide products with dimethyl sulfide and exposure of the resulting intermediate product to dilute sulfuric acid.The developed process allows the production of the aldehyde with a yield of 80percent at a purity of 95percent.The method has advantages over all those reported earlier, because of inexpensive raw material and reducing agent, recycling of the solvent and its unusual simplicity.KEY WORDS: Castor oil, 2-nonenal, ozonolysis.
