Abstract

Abstract A one-pot synthesis of (all-E)-retinoic acid and related compounds from new enamino diester synthons is described. The enamino diesters was produced nearly quantitatively from methyl propylidene-and isopropylidenemalonate and DMF− DMA. This easy process allowed retinoic acid to be produced in 1 d and appeared advantageous to current industrial syntheses.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, ...
