Abstract
A total synthesis of phytol from acetone is described. The synthesis has shorter stages than previously reported methods. Triethyl phosphonocrotonate anion could be condensed with carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding dienoic esters. The products were converted to &keto sulfoxides by reaction with methylsulfinyl carbanion and the sulfoxides were reduced with aluminum amalgam to give methyl ketones. Phytone, one of the compounds ...
