Synthesis based on cyclohexadienes: Part 6 - A new total synthesis of (+/-)-methyl acorate and (+/-)-methyl epi-acorate

A new method of construction of carbon-carbon bond is described.Thus the dianions generated from the metal-ammonia reduction of substituted benzoic acids readily undergo Michael addition with methyl crotonate resulting in synthetically useful products hav

A New Synthesis of Racemic Methyl Acorate & Methyl Epiacorate

A total synthesis of the racemic methyl acorate, involving construction of a quarternary carbon by Michael addition of anions to unsaturated esters, is described.
