Abstract:
Two methods for the synthesis of 2-oxabicyclo4.10.0]hexadec-1(6)-ene from cyclododecanone have been suggested. The most convenient method involves the preparation of 2-(3-tert-butoxypropyl)cyclododecanone by phase-transfer catalyzed alkylation of cyclododecanone with l-bromo-3-tert-butoxypropane followed by removal of the protectingtert-butyl group and elimination of water.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
