Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude β,δ-dihydroxy-6-heptenoic acid, ethyl ester from the previous step was dissolved in a mixture of 30 ml of dichloromethane and 10 ml of 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Camphorsulfonic acid (0.05 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred overnight. Concentration of the reaction mixture and flash-chromatography of the residue yielded 1.1 g of 6-ethenyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4-acetic acid, ethyl ester.
