Abstract
AbstractReduction of methyl oleate ozonolysis products with active zinc in the absence of acid or water gave an 88% yield of methyl azelaaldehydate. Under these neutral conditions, side reactions such as acetalization and aldehyde condensations could be more conveniently avoided than when zinc‐acetic acid reduction is used. The activated zinc was prepared by treatment with acetic acid followed by washing to remove the acid.
