Abstract

Abstract A high yield method for the preparation of (+)-cis-pinononic acid starting from the inexpensive (+)-α-pinene has been developed. The capture of the cyclobutyl radical from decarboxylation of (+)-cis-pinononic acid has been investigated. Moreover the radical decarboxylation of (+)-cis-pinonic acid to the corresponding nor-alkane was studied.
