Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of (4E,7S)-(-)-7-methoxydodec-4-enoic acid has been accomplished in eight steps from hexanal in 24% overall yield. The key steps involved the catalytic asymmetric allylation of hexanal and the coupling reaction of a chiral alkyne and a protected bromide in the presence of t-BuLi.
