ABSTRACT A PROCESS FOR SYNTHESIS OF Z-11-HEXADECENYL ACETATE The present disclosure provides a process for preparation of Z-11-hexadecenyl acetate. The process consist of following consecutive steps (a) preparation of phosphonium salt from primary halide of undecenoic acid with triphenylphosphine in suitable organic solvent(s) (b) preparation of Z-11-hexadecenoic acid by combining the phosphonium salt with pentanal in suitable base(s) and organic solvent(s) (c) preparation of Z-11-hexadecenol by reacting of Z-11-hexadecenoic acid with suitable reducing agent(s) and organic solvent(s) and (d) preparation of Z-11-hexadecenyl , acetate by reacting the Z-11-hexadecenol with suitable acylating agent(s), suitable base(s) and organic solvent(s).
