Provided are methods including a method for industrially producing (2S,12Z)-2-acetoxy-12-heptadecene, which is, for example, a sex pheromone of pistachio twig borer. The methods can include a production method comprising a step of reacting racemic (2RS,12Z)-2-hydroxy-12-heptadecene with vinyl benzoate in the presence of a lipase to obtain a mixture of optically active (2R,12Z)-2-benzoyloxy-12-heptadecene of Formula (R,Z-2) and optically active (2S,12Z)-2-hydroxy-12-heptadecene of Formula (S,Z-1), a step of heating the mixture to distill out the optically active (2S,12Z)-2-hydroxy-12-heptadecene (S,Z-1), and a step of acetylating the optically active (2S,12Z)-2-hydroxy-12-heptadecene (S,Z-1) to obtain optically active (2S,12Z)-2-acetoxy-12-heptadecene of Formula (S,Z-3). ##STR00001##

A process includes forming a bio-derived crosslinking material from biorenewable aconitic acid. The process includes initiating a chemical reaction to form a bio-derived crosslinking material that includes multiple functional groups. The chemical reaction includes converting each carboxylic acid group of a biorenewable aconitic acid molecule to one of the multiple functional groups.

A photopolymerization sensitizer may not cause problems of dusting or coloring of a cured product due to bleeding of additives such as the photopolymerization sensitizer on the surface, e.g., by blooming at the time of photo-curing or during storage of the cured product, and which provides a practically sufficient photo-curing rate. A 9,10-bis(alkoxycarbonylalkyleneoxy)anthracene compound having ester groups, of formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein A is a C.sub.1-20 alkylene group, optionally branched by an alkyl group, R is a C.sub.1-20 alkyl group, optionally branched by the alkyl group, the C.sub.1-20 alkyl group optionally being a cycloalkyl group or a cycloalkylalkyl group, and X and Y are independently a hydrogen, a C.sub.1-8 alkyl group, or a halogen.
