(6R,10R)-6,10,14-TRIMETYLPENTADECAN-2-ONE PREPARED FROM 3,7-DIMETYLOCT-2-ENAL OR 3,7-DIMETYLOCTA-2,6-DIENAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing (6R,10R)-6,10,14-trimetylpentadecan-2-one in a multistep synthesis from 3,7-dimetyloct-2-enal or 3,7-dimetylocta-2,6-dienal. The process is very advantageous in that it forms the desired chiral product from a mixture of stereoisomers of the starting product in an efficient way.
