undecane-1-thiol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 376 mg of undecylmercaptan, 438 mg of methyl 7-bromohepta-4,5-dienoate and 0.278 ml of triethyl amine in 2 ml of diethyl ether were stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue chromatographed on silica gel eluting with hexane and toluene to give 210 mg of methyl 8-thianonadeca-4,5-dienoate having the following NMR spectrum which was run in deutochloroform solution with TMS as the internal standard. The solvent was removed in vacuo the residue chromatographed on silica gel eluting with hexane and toluene
