An efficient and solely stereoselective synthesis of (E)-α- methylcinnamic acids has been accomplished in single pot by reduction of the unmodified Baylis-Hillman adducts, methyl-3-hydroxy-3-aryl-2- methylenepropanoates with I2/NaBH4 reagent system at room temperature followed by hydrolysis. The efficacy of this method has been proved in the total synthesis of 1-[p-(myristyloxy)-α-methylcinnamoyl]glycerol, LK-903, a highly active hypolipidemic agent.
