General description

5-Hexenyl acetate is a linear ester. It can undergo ruthenium-catalyzed cross-metathesis reactions with α-substituted vinyl boronates in dichloromethane. It participates in the post-polymerization modification step during the preparation of poly(vinylnorbornene).

Application

5-Hexenyl acetate may be used in the synthesis of (4E,7Z)-4,7-tridecadienyl acetate.

Numerous plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) induce the expression of resistance-related genes and thereby cause an "associational resistance" in neighbouring plants. However, VOCs can also be sequestered by plant cuticular waxes. In case that they maintain their biological activity, such

It is known that self-assembled molecular monolayer doping technique has the advantages of forming ultra-shallow junctions and introducing minimal defects in semiconductors. In this paper, we report however the formation of carbon-related defects in the molecular monolayer-doped silicon as detected
