organic signaling compounds released from Arabidopsis leaves when The compound (Z)-hexenyl acetate is one of several volatile nanic signaling compounds released from Arabidopsis leaves when oy are damaged (Nat. Prod. Rep. 2012, 29, 12881303). Propose a synthesis of this compound using ethylene (H2C=CH2) and acetic acid (CH3CO2H) as your only sources of carbon atoms. Use the reaction described in Problem 12.27 as one of the steps of the synthesis. (Z)-Hexenyl acetate
