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
