Reaction Steps

16-Methyloctadecanoic acid was synthesized by the same operation, except that in the step (a) of the synthesis process for 14-methylhexadecanoic acid described above, 12-dodecanolide was changed to 15-pentadodecanolide, and in the step (b), 2-methylbutylmagnesium bromide was changed to sec-butylmagnesium bromide. Thus, 16-methyloctadecanoic add was obtained from 15-pentadodecanolide at a total yield of 84%. The purity was 95%.
