Abstract
A new method for the selective hydrolytic cleavage of dimethylhy- drazones consists of treatment of the hydrazones with silica gel (pH 6.80) in wet tetrahydrofuran. Utilizing this method as one of the key steps, (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate, the pheromone of Spodoptera frugiperda, was synthesized.
