Ricinoleic acid (1) has been converted into methyl 9,13-bisacetoxy-12-oxooctadecanoate (17), an envisaged key intermediate for the synthesis of prostanoids.As a preliminary, 17 has been transformed into the title compound (14) which has been earlier conve

Photosensitised oxidation of (9E,11E)-methyl octadeca-9,11-dienoate gave an unsaturated cyclic peroxide (epidioxide) in high yield.This was characterised spectroscopically.The peroxide underwent facile rearrangement to a furanoid ester under a variety of reaction conditions.Catalytic reduction of the unsaturated peroxide cleaved the O-O bond.Bromination and epoxidation gave dibromo and epoxy esters respectively with the peroxide group still intact.
