11-Dodecyn-1-ol is a synthetic intermediate of the sex pheromone (Z,E)-11,13,15-Hexadecatrienyl acetate for Thaumetopoea processionea[1].

NaH (7.5 g, 60% oil dispersion, 326 mmol) was added batchwise to a stirred 0 °C solution of dodeca-3-yn-1-ol (10.0 g, 54.95 mmol; GF Smith) in ethylenediamine (40 mL).After 1 h, the temperature was raised to 70 °C. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0 °C
