Abstract

We obtained the pure acid 3 by transformation to the t-butyl ester, GLC separation, and subsequent cleavage with trimethiylsilyl iodide, or preferably r-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonatel. However, this procedure gives only small amounts of 3 and the 1- butyl ester of the isomeric acid 4 could not be obtained in pure form by GLC ln this communication we describe a stereospecific route for the syntheses of homogeranic acid ( ...
