Welch, Steven C.2022-02-142022-02-1419763718048https://hdl.handle.net/10657/8820The total synthesis of ([plus-minus])-trans-chrysanthemic acid (1) from eucarvone (66) via intermediate [delta][cubed]-4-methylcaren-5-one (68)is discussed. The present synthetic scheme proceeds by ozonolysis of carenone 68 to a key intermediate, keto-acetal 73. Reductive elimination of the enol diethyl phosphate of acetal 73 leads to olefin aldehyde 58 which is ultimately oxidized to ([plus-minus])-trans-chrysanthemic acid.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C. §107) for non-profit research and educational purposes.
