The isomeric components of gossyplure, (Z,Z)‐and (Z,E)‐7,11‐hexadecadien‐1‐o1 acetates, were isomerized cleanly to the (E,E) and (E,Z) acetates by the method of Vedejs and Fuchs. This method is applicable to the double inversion of 1,5‐dienes. Thus, geometrical isomers of some compounds of biological interest, such as the insect sex attractants, can be more readily obtained.
