Abstract

The valorization of vegetable oil‐derived methyl azelaaldehydate (methyl 9‐oxo‐nonanoate) to monomers was studied through NHC‐catalysed Stetter reaction. Among the Michael acceptors tested, dimethyl fumarate gave the highest selectivity (97 %) for the corresponding Stetter adduct, thus limiting the competing benzoin condensation.
