Product 1

HCID 213973748-Acetyl-12-hydroxy-8-methylheptadecanoic acid

Procedure

By following the hydrolytic procedure described in Example 1, Step D, but substituting an equimolar amount of ethyl 8-acetyl-8-methyl-12-acetoxyheptadecanoate for the ethyl 8-acetyl-12-acetoxyheptadecanoate of the example, there is obtained 8-acetyl-8-methyl-12-hydroxyheptadecanoic acid as a colorless viscous oil.
