Reaktionsschritte

The title compound was prepared by standard Wittig-Horner reaction from 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone, 2-(diethoxy-phosphoryl)-propionic acid ethyl ester and sodium hydride (J. Boutagy, R. Thomas, Chem. Rev. 1974, 74, 87-99) and subsequent saponification with potassium hydroxide in ethanol. After recrystallization from n-heptane, the title compound was obtained as white solid.
