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.
