Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(81)80012-9

Two independent routes to each of the title acids, useful in the synthesis of natural products, are presented. The sequences commence with readily available materials which are amenable to the preparation of multigram quantities. Complete ¹³C spectral data is supplied for intermediates and products.
