Preparation and some reactions of ω-chloro derivatives from aleuritic acid and related compounds

Synthesis of ω-chloro compounds obtained from aleuritic acid and its derivatives have been carried out and the known triphenylphosphine-carbon tetrachloride procedure has been found to be the most suitable for this purpose. The C-Cl bond has been found to be sufficiently reactive towards a Wittig reaction, dilithium tetrachlorocuprate catalyzed alkylation and macrocyclization, indicating the usefulness of the chloro compounds.
