Abstract
(2E,4E)-N-Isobutyl-7-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)hepta-2,4-dienamide (I) possessing insecticidal activity against flies and mosquitoes has been synthesized in fine yield from 3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)prop-1-ene (II) using hydroboration-oxidation with acetoxyborohydride and a modified Wittig reaction as the key steps.
