Usage

General Description

2-Undecenylacetate, also known as 2-Undecenyl acetate or undec-2-en-1-yl acetate, is a chemical compound commonly used in the manufacturing of perfumes and fragrances. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity, floral, and slightly sweet odor. This chemical is naturally found in many fruits and flowers, and it is often used to create a range of scents, including jasmine, gardenia, and tropical fruit fragrances. In addition to its use in the fragrance industry, 2-Undecenylacetate is also employed as a flavoring agent and is added to food products to impart a fruity taste. It is considered safe for use in cosmetics, fragrances, and food products when used in accordance with established guidelines and regulations.

Towards Sustainable Catalysis – Highly Efficient Olefin Metathesis in Protic Media Using Phase Labelled Cyclic Alkyl Amino Carbene (CAAC) Ruthenium Catalysts

New generations of Hoveyda and bis-carbene type of ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts (10 and 12), containing cationic cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) ligands, have been synthetized. The catalysts show exceptional stability and activity in environmentally benign, protic media. Various olefin metatheses reactions of OH functionalized feedstock (e. g. RCM, ROMP CM) can be carried out at as low as 0.05 mol % catalyst loading in methanol, isopropanol, water or methanol/water solvent mixture, accomplishing the lowest applied catalyst loading reported so far in these media. The facile olefin metathesis of renewable feedstocks including phospholipids (23) and vegetable oils (20) in protic media has also been demonstrated.

Comparison of reactivity in the cross metathesis of allyl acetate-derivatives with oleochemical compounds

The metathesis of unsaturated oleochemicals is an excellent tool for generating α,ω-difunctional substrates, which are useful intermediates for polymer synthesis. This article describes the cross metathesis of allyl acetate and cis-1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene with methyl 10-undecenoate and methyl oleate, which are oleochemical key substrates. Detailed optimizations led to high conversion rates and yields of the desired products under mild reaction conditions by using a low concentration of commercially available homogeneous ruthenium catalysts.

Metathesis of renewable raw materials - Influence of ligands in the indenylidene type catalysts on self-metathesis of methyl oleate and cross-metathesis of methyl oleate with (Z)-2-butene-1,4-diol diacetate

The influence of different N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and other neutral ligands on the outcome of the cross-metathesis reaction of methyl oleate with (Z)-2-butene-1,4-diol diacetate and self-metathesis of methyl oleate was studied for a series of indenylidene type Ru catalysts.
