| introduction | 5-hexenoic acid is an important chemical raw material. 5-hexenoic acid coupling can highly selectively prepare δ ~ caprolactone (related documents such as Tetrahedron,2009,6510334~10338;WO2007/007084A2). |
| Uses | 5-hexenoic acid is a carboxylic acid derivative, which can be prepared by olefin metathesis reaction Sebacic acid is widely used in the manufacture of cold-resistant plasticizers, synthetic nylon 610, 1010 and synthetic higher lubricants Dioctyl sebacate and dibutyl ester. |
