Abstract
A new short and highly flexible pathway to derivatives 3a-d and 5 of d ihydro-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid, using an electrochemical C-C bond cou pling in an one-step procedure, is described. Jasmonic acid can be cou pled with carboxylic acids in a mixed Kolbe electrolysis in acceptable yields. Functional groups are tolerated and, hence, the method offers a simple route to the title compounds which are otherwise difficult t o prepare, Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
