Gl. Kad et al., A SHORT AND CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF YL-7-(3,4-METHYLENEDIOXYPHENYL)HEPTA-2,4-DIENAMIDE, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 60(6), 1995, pp. 1050-1053
yl-7-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)hepta-2,4-dienamide (I) possessing inse
cticidal activity against flies and mosquitoes has been synthesized in
fine yield from 3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)prop-1-ene (II) using hyd
roboration-oxidation with acetoxyborohydride and a modified Wittig rea
ction as the key steps.
