Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 3-hydroxy-7,11,15-trimethylhexadeca-6,10,14-trienoate (139 mg, 430 μmol), ethanol (1 mL) and sodium hydroxide (1N, 440 μL, 440 μmol) was stirred at room temperature for two-hours. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on a 20 mm ID silica gel column. Elution of the column with choloform:acetic acid (40:1/v=v) gave title compound as a colorless gum.
