A one‐step procedure for the preparation of ( E )‐2‐nonenal from commercial castor oil by ozonolysis in acetic acid, followed by exposure of the resulting intermediate product to p ‐toluene sulfonic acid, is described. The manufactured aldehyde is of high purity and the method, by virtue of being simple and using inexpensive raw material, has advantages over those reported in the literature.
