Abstract
A one-step procedure for the preparation of (E)-2-nonenal from commerc ial castor oil by ozonolysis in acetic acid, followed by exposure of t he resulting intermediate product to p-toluene sulfonic acid, is descr ibed. The manufactured aldehyde is of high purity and the method, by v irtue of being simple and using inexpensive raw material, has advantag es over those reported in the literature.
